BAXTER - Early morning thunderstorms did nothing to hinder the 152 athletes who crossed the finish line in Sunday's Lakes Country Triathlon.
Thomas Anderson III, 38, finished with a time of 1:03.18 to win in his first Lakes Country Triathlon.
The Minneapolis resident, who has family ties to the lakes area, competed in three other triathlons in 2014 with one coming the day before the Lakes event.
"I was into marathons and started cycling a bit and someone suggested that I should do a triathlon and I did and it was fun," said Anderson. "A lot of these things...
start as a hobby, but it's a lifestyle where you get a great stress reduction tool.
"What amazes me, and what I think is great about triathlons, is that you can do it at any age and it's fun to show up and win, but the reality is you're competing against yourself. Winning just means that you happened to be the fastest person that day and then you can go to another race and someone else will be faster. It's just fun to go out and give it your best shot."
