New Bri Tri Stuff - After an exciting womano a womano battle in which Hilary Patzer stalked and ultimately overtook Lydia Novotny, the acupuncturist/herbalist/elite Nordic skier-turned-triathlete emerged victorious this morning at the 6th annual New Bri Tri. Twas Patzer's second consecutive multi win of 2011, and her first tri triumph.
Jill Ellenbecker grabbed the final women's podium spot.
In the men's competition, the battle for first appeared to unfold in much the same way the ladies' race did. It was a mano a mano between 2009 New Bri champ, Brendon O'Flanagan, and Kris Koepp, with the...
