<p>I recently reported the results of three local triathletes who competed in the Pruhealth World Triathlon Grand Finals in London on Sept. 15. I've since discovered that two Oswego County women competed in the event as well.</p>

<p>Sharon Morey, 67, of Oswego, competed in the Olympic distance (also called the standard distance) event in the 65-69 age group. She finished fourth in her group and was the first American woman in that group with a time of 2:40:53.</p>

<p>Karen Allen-Turner, 45, also of Oswego, competed in the spring distance event. Allen-Turner finished 23rd in the 45-49 age group with a time of 1:20:42. <br /></p>
