Congrats to everyone who participated at Echo! As we always say, it takes guts to show up to race, and we commend everyone who got after it on Saturday.
A special congrats to State Champions McKale Bladen & Arthur Benson! Their names are now joined alongside these prior year winners:
Show up at 3 or more of the 12 total Series races to qualify for 2022 season swag & awards!
Note that for many races, there's also a Sprint distance option as a non-Championship Series race. Below is the results breakdown for Echo, and thispost from a few years ago explains what this is if you need a refresher.
Basically, like we do for all Utah Triathlon Championship Series races, we crunch some #'s to show your percentile vs. the field. The lower % the better, and this look helps you track your own performance year over year, race to race.
For age group rankings and other season awards, we'll calculate a points "bonus" for IM and 70.3 Worlds to adjust for the higher level of competition throughout the field. The State Champs race each year also provides a notch smaller but still significant bonus.
Stay tuned for 2022 Age Group Rankings Round 1 - coming out soon!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the wo/man who points out how the strong wo/man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the wo/man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends her/himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if s/he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her/his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
