Nearly 500 athletes completed the daunting Door County Triathlon Half Iron course July 14 in Egg Harbor. Alfredo Ramirez Pinho, 30, of Verona topped all finishers by completing the 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run in just 4:11:49. Christine Sonnemann, 40, of Sheboygan led the women, finishing in 4:43:30. 

The event kicked off July 13 with the Sprint Triathlon, a shorter race featuring a .25-mile swim, 18-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run. Following that on Saturday afternoon was the Door County Medical Center Kids Triathlon, in which 300 kids ages six to 14 completed a short open-water swim, bike ride and run course. More than 1,600 competitors took part in the three events.
