2010 Turtleman Triathlon Board Members

Mark Stange - (Race Director and Bike Course Coordinator) Mark competed in seven Turtleman races before joining the original board in 1998 as Bike Coordinator, creating and modifying the bike course to accommodate road construction and other concerns. He also made the 'water tent' at the finish.

Our board is made up of 12 fantastic, hard working people. Here's a little about each of them:

Dan Conway - (former Race Director) Dan is staying on to help with registration and publicity. Dan as been involved in multi-sport racing for over 20 years and lives about a 1/2 mile from the race site. He has completed USAT's Race Director Certification program.

Gene Holen (Treasurer and Co-Transition Coordinator) - A member of the original board that brought the race back in 1998, Gene's been helpful in all aspects of the race. But most important he is the person who makes sure everyone has an accurately timed race. And he stays wonderfully calm throughout the whole race experience. Gene’s competed in over 8 Turtleman races.

Richard Erickson (Swim Course Coordinator) - He joined our board in 2003 as the Swim Coordinator. Richard measures the course very carefully with the help of surveyors, sets all of the buoys, organizes all of the water safety, and makes sure everyone gets through the swim course safely. It's a very important job that Richard does very well.
