NETT grabs two--no make that three--wins, multiple age-group awards over the weekend




Dmitry won the Waltham Halloween Hustle Saturday morning in a blistering time, despite being attacked by a KILLER BEE (see photo). Now, we all know Bees are attracted to bright colors, so maybe wearing that BRIGHT ORANGE shirt was the reason for the attack. Good job on the win!

The real drama came on Sunday at the Wrenthem Halloween Duathlon, quickly becoming an NETT favorite event. The cast of characters included PMiller in the role of Superman, Tina Wang in the role of Tinker Bell, Frank KJ in the role of, well, JunkMan?, Toledo Joe as The Glass Hammer, Dmitry in the role of Russian Rocket and one sketchy leprechaun.

Superman saved the day again this year, leaping tall buildings and cycling through windstorms faster than anyone to win the overall title. The Russian Rocket made the run split competiion a non-event, finishing fifth overall. The Glass Hammer rode like and through the wind with the second-fastest bike split to finish seventh overall (second in his age-group), JunkMan went "ultra aero" in a Speedo and a MOUNTAIN BIKE to win the side bet (he won it in the Transitions!) and finish 17th overall--again on a mtn bike. Impressive. The world's most hideous leprechaun went so slow on the bike, he travelled back in time, finishing 27th overall.

TinkerBell floated to an age-group first and 41st overall (she won all three splits, in the age group, by the way, not jus the overall title!).

A great day and a lot of fun. Once again NETT shows you can be serious and silly all at the same time. Trust me--no one wants to get passed by a drunk leprechaun!

LATE BREAKING NEWS: This just in, new Ponyette Adrienne Cyrulik won the Lowell Monster Dash Duathlon (we assume, since her name is butchered in the coolrunning results, and the photo evidence is unclear, but yea, we're pretty sure that's her in the results). Great Work Adrienne!
