South Whidbey Record

Drew Magill of Sammamish won the 12th annual Race the Rock triathlon

Saturday with a time of 1 hour, 30 minutes and 11.3 seconds.

Stacia Mcinnes from Bellevue was the first woman across the finish line in

1:39:35.8.

"I had no problems today on this very scenic course," Magill said.

"The fact that the Whidbey triathlon isn't point-to-point makes it

more of an adventure and unique to triathlons. And the bike route is

the best of the 50 triathlons I've been involved with."

The race started on the dot at 9 a.m. with a half-mile swim in Goss

Lake, then a 19.2-mile bike ride that ended in Community Park on

Maxwelton Road. A 3.2 -mile run through the park's trails completed

the event for the 270 entrants.

Hundreds of family, friends and supporters cheered racers at the

finish line.
