Morales cracks top 10 in Burley Spudman

20 Blaine athletes finish 31.9-mile test

    Twenty Wood River Valley triathletes led by Hailey’s Pedro Morales were among 1,455 finishers Saturday, July 27 in the 27th annual Burley Lions Club Spudman Triathlon.
   The 51.5-kilometer (31.9-mile) endurance test took place in Burley. There were 948 men and 507 women finishing.
   Morales, 23, a former Wood River High School distance runner, finished seventh overall and first in the Men’s 19-24 class with a time of 1.58:45.
   He clocked the top splits in his age class of 1.02:29 for the 24.8-mile bicycle ride and 36:45 for the 6.2-mile run. His swimming split of 16:51 for the 0.93-mile Riverfront Park swim was second in his age class.
   Impressively, the 36:45 running split of Morales trailed only Burley-area native B.J. Christenson, 35, of North Salt Lake City, Utah (36:09) for the fastest running time of all finishers. Winner of four straight Spudman titles, Christenson settled for second this year.
   The overall winner was bicycle time trial specialist Sam Krieg, 37, of Pocatello (1.49:26). He outpaced runner-up Christenson by 1:17 and Morales by 9:19. Krieg’s splits were 16:22 swim, 53:08 bike and 37:01 run.
   Placing 35th overall and winning the women’s title in 2.08:26 was Kara Bankhead, 36, of Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Her splits were 15:54 swim, 1.07:45 bike and 40:16 run.
