Coach Wins Inaugural Triathlon
The competitors began with a 1.5-kilometer swim in Lake Andrea, which McDonie completed in 17 minutes and 58 seconds. She then spent one hour, seven minutes and 26 seconds while traveling 40 kilometers on her bicycle. The 40-year-old finished by running a 10-kilometer course in 41 minutes and 24 seconds. Her overall time of 2:08:58 was nearly ten minutes faster than the next-fastest female. Next weekend, McDonie will welcome
her returning runners and a number of newcomers for her second season as
head cross country coach at Lake Forest College (fourth year with the program).
During the winter, she will serve as an assistant coach of the school's
swimming & diving team for the third year.
