Phil Hanson. Phil is a 68-year-old former career physical education instructor. Throughout his career, using the disciplines of running, biking, swimming and walking as exercise venues it was an easy transition to become involved with triathlons. Phil started participating on a team in Fairmont's 1st triathlon in 1983 and continued until 1989. After an 18-year hiatus, Phil helped start the Fairmont Triathlon back up.
Margot Albensoeder-Madsen. Margot competed in her first Marathon in 1990 with a time of 3 hrs 58 min and qualified for the 1991 Boston Marathon. At the time she was 52 and had only started running two years prior. She is a veteran of 8 marathons, numerous half marathons and several triathlons. She is the proud winner of the Minnesota Distane Runner Association Grand Prix in her age group. Today Margot lives in Fairmont where she encourages everyone to join her in a healthy lifestyle of walking running and bicycling.
