With John having a kid real soon I thought that we could think of a name for his child. Give a name for both sexes. I like the sound of Bevan!\xa0

Age grouper of the week
Anders Christofferson sent us through this weeks ager grouper. I thought that I would put his email on here, here it is:
I thought I would write in a nomination for Age grouper of the week.\xa0 My nomination is my father, Randy Christofferson, and I think he deserves this for a few reasons.\xa0 First a little background on him.\xa0 He's been in triathlon for about 8 seasons and has done 8 half IM's and 3 full IMs.\xa0 He's always been very good and placed well in his age group, but never really thought about going for the win or Hawaii, etc.\xa0 This winter we talked about it and he fully committed himself to getting to Hawaii.\xa0 He bought a new bike, lost a lot of weight, and more importantly got hookedup with a coach for the first time.\xa0 The work he has put in since the beginning of this year in incredible, inspiring really.\xa0
I'm nominating him because of his race this past weekend at the White Lake half-IM in North Carolina.\xa0 This race was an important one because it was a test of all the work he has put in and also because of his competition.\xa0 Four people in his age group (50-54) have done considerably better than him in the past.\xa0 More importantly, 1 person in his AG has qualified for Hawaii at Ironman Florida the past 3 years and my Dad will be racing him for a slot there this November.\xa0
Needless to say he had an incredible race.\xa0 He finished in a time of 4:43:13, which was a PB by more than 15 minutes!\xa0 He swam 35:47, biked 2:25:13 and ran 1:38:01.\xa0 This race put him in 38th place overall out of 700+ finishers, not to shabby for a 50 year old!\xa0 Also, he won his age-group by more than 7 minutes!\xa0 This was his first AG win in long course racing and he easily took down his main competitor for the Hawaii slot at Florida.
