On Sunday, May 9th, 5 NEMS members raced in the New England Season Opener Sprint Triathlon in Hopkinton, MA. The conditions were great (much better than the year before) and NEMS would like to congratulate Nate Thomas and Andrew Levine for finishing on the podium. Nate had a great race and finished 1st in his age group and 6th overall. Andrew finished 11th overall and 3rd in his age group. Colin Cook had a disappointing race which included a flat tire on the bike. Despite the mechanical issue, Colin still finished 5th in age group and 25th overall. Chad Quinlan had a tough start to his day with a sub par swim, but still finished a very respectable 11th in his age group and 62nd overall. Rob Kosman also represented NEMS well by finishing 17th in his age group and 162nd overall. His an image of the guys before the race and some video from the race:
