Chary Griffin finished 12th in her age group at the world championships in Budapest, Hungary on Sept. 13 with a time of 2 hours and 50 minutes, a new personal record.
Two weeks later, at the nationals in Tuscaloosa, she finished ninth in her age group with a time of 3 hours and 14 minutes, qualifying her to go to Beijing a year from now and represent the United States for a third time at the world championships.
“Cazenovia is the perfect spot to train with a lake, biking and running hills,” Griffin said.
