(6-28-10) The last weekend in June is one of the biggest (and busiest) of the season for endurance sports in the Northwest each year - and 2010 proved no different. With Rock 'n' Roll taking place in Seattle and Ironman Coeur d'Alene taking place in Idaho, the 2010 Pacific Crest Weekend Sports Festival was lighting up Central Oregon.
Over 5,000 participants took part in this year's Pacific Crest events, which spanned three days and offered ten separate races - with a little something for everyone.
The marquee event of the weekend was the long course triathlon, which was held on Saturday, June 26. Participants swam 1.2 miles in Wickiup Reservoir, then rode 58 miles up the Cascade Lakes Highway before returning to the resort community of Sunriver where they completed the 13.1-mile half marathon.
Also held on Saturday was an endurance duathlon (sans swim), half marathon and marathon. Sunday offered an Olympic triathlon and duathlon, as well as a 5k, 10k and kids dash. Adam Zucco of Elburn, IL apparently used Saturday's long course triathlon (in which he placed 3rd overall) as a warm up for Sunday's Olympic-distance triathlon where he outran Portland's Chris Boudreaux for the overall win.
