Mark Drangsholt came in first followed by his brother Ross Drangsholt in second. In third place was Keri Fezzey, the first woman to finish.

The Drangsholts celebrated 10 years of participation in the triathlon.  They don’t win every year but they come to Orcas each summer.

“There are really a core group of visitors, part-time residents and locals who participate each year,” said Michel Vekved of Friends of Moran, which sponsors the event.
