Libey notes 60th with triathlon

Colfax attorney Gary Libey booked a late celebration of his 60th birthday last week when he competed in the Race the River Triathlon at Riverstone in Coeur d’Alene. Libey marked birthday number 60 June 24.

Libey finished third in the 60-64 age division of the “Clydesdale” class of competitors, contestants who tip the scales at more than 200 pounds.

He said he tried to keep up with his son Patrick, 30, Moscow, but was quickly left in the younger Libey’s dust.

Libey finished the half-mile swim, 11-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run in just over one hour, 31 minutes. Patrick Libey clocked in at just over an hour.

Other local contestants were Jeannie and Tracy Tribbett. Jeannie finished at 2:03.28, and daughter Tracy at 1:33.12.

A portion of the event proceeds were donated to the Boys and Girls Club.
