The Washington, NC Olympic and Sprint Triathlon, 2011: Chapter I - Getting Started, and Then the Finish | Eastern North Carolina Now


The effort of the competitors was total, nothing was held back. For some of them, like Jeanna Chain, it was all about the exercise, the healthy reward from the effort: Above. For others it was all about the competition, which is cool too: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

These two pictures, above and below, exemplify what will be the first annual Washington, NC Olympic and Sprint Triathlon Major Dude Award. I first noticed the running picture of this "El Duderino" when I was sifting through the many images I made that day. "His Dudeness" is running back to the finish line in Washington Park barefooted. Then I shuffled through all of the photos, and found the second picture of "The Dude" emerging from the Pamlico River after the first leg of his competition.

The "Duder" has just run almost all of the 3.1 miles, or the 6.2 miles, whichever he participated in, on the many hard surfaces of the route, as exhibited here, in just his bare feet. And also, he accomplished this notable feat while almost completely naked, which is also quite cool, and very European. You are "His Dudeness" personified and bona fide.     photos by Stan Deatherage

How does one follow the nearly nude "Major Dude," of whom, I verbally exude ... and exude? It's easy. Everyone else, like Jess Joiner, who is just behind the two boys in blue: Above. They all may not be of the likeness of "El Duderino," but they are all pretty solid folks in my book: Above and below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

Marc Primanti of FS (Finish Strong) Series has just provided this article a backlink on their great website (and I don't say that about many websites).

Naturally, we reciprocate by giving fine websites, like theirs, a comparable backlink.

Also Marc sent me the names of some of the competitors to list on our article. We want this, and since BCN gets so much traffic, and we do leave these articles up for perpetuity, these spirited efforts of others will be remembered, and are a fine example of the human will to succeed.
