Barr, Laskowski Finish in Top 25% of 2010 Kona Lottery Winners

     Two hundred triathletes - 150 from the United States and another 50 from the rest of the world - were chosen in the World Triathlon Corporation's lottery in April for this month's Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
     All but 12 - 188 - were assigned bib numbers and 178 earned an Ironman finish on Saturday, October 9.  (Seven did not start the race and just three did not finish - all stopping their journey during the bike portion of the event.)
     Our hometown athletes - Amy Barr and John Laskowski of The Woodlands, Texas - finished in the top 25 of their fellow lottery winners -- and finishers.
     Barr was sixth among 26 female competitors while Laskowski was 22nd among 152 male finishers.
     A spectacular accomplishment by both triathletes!
