It's was disappointing that your article covering the Ulman Half Full Triathlon on Oct. 4 ("Philadelphia man captures win in Half Full Triathlon," Oct. 6) mentioned the top men's finishers but neglected to mention even one of the top women finishers.
Women now make up the majority of participants in local triathlons and the Columbia Iron Girl Triathlon sells out in a matter of hours. It's a shame you didn't give them the recognition they deserved.
