Tim Samec may have last wrestled more than a decade ago, but his competitive urge remains intense. “This was my last race of the year, so I was really looking forward to it.”The local event attracted 203 triathletes from the area and also several from outside the state. That was the most since the event began in 2007. ” I left like it was the start of a new beginning for me as an athlete.”Participants ranged from 10 to 70 years old, with both a Sprint Triathlon and a Super Sprint Triathlon Saturday morning. “I thought it was really fast, really comfortable … super smooth,” Samec said.
