Pumpkinman Triathlon to Attract Region’s Top Competitors SOUTH BERWICK – Mike Caiazzo, Matt Russell, Nathan Buttrick and Marshwood High School teacher Vinny Johnson, will headline a field of the region’s top elite triathletes at the Pumpkinman Triathlon festival on Sept. 7 and 8. Caiazzo won the half iron race in 2011, the same year Russell captured the sprint title. Both finished in the top five in both the sprint and half distances in 2012. This year the duo will again compete in both events. First-year professionals Buttrick and Johnson will likely factor into the podium picture during the half iron
race. Both are Pumpkinman veterans and contenders for the title in the longer of the weekend’s two races. Catherine Sterling enters the 2013 sprint race as a pre-race favorite in the women’s elite race. Sterling finished second last year, but won the event in 2011. She will be joined by a field that includes standouts Jessica Barton, Leslie Why, Kimberly Shattuck, Robin Sandos, and Nicole Pisani. Angela Bancroft, Amanda Kourtz, Mary Holt-Wilson, Carolyn Pfalzgraf, Amy D’Anna, Robin Sandos, and Nicole Pisani are competing in the elite division of the half iron race. With the absence of
