Dr. Vinnie Monseau knows some day somebody will come along and beat him in the annual YMCA Rocky Gap Triathlon. Saturday certainly was not going to be that day.
The 39-year-old emergency room physician from Morgantown, W.Va., beat his own course record by 31 seconds with a time of 45 minutes and 23 seconds in the 21st annual race. It was his third straight victory and ninth in the last 10 years. He had to skip the 2005 event.
Derek Clark, 27, of Morgantown, was a distant second in 47:40, followed by 33-year-old Erik Scott of State College, Pa., in 47:50.

The Rocky Gap Triathlon is a family affair for Dr. Ian MacFawn
Dr. MacFawn is the only triathlete to have competed in all 21 Rocky Gap events. Competing with an artificial hip, he finished 70th overall in a time of 1:04.03. Cathy won the 50-to-55 age group and was 91th overall in 1:07:2. Breandan was able to edge his mother by finishing 88th in 1:07:1
Lauryn, who finished 19th overall, just capped an outstanding high school career where she won three Maryland Class 1A cross country championships and two 3200-meter run titles in track. She will be continuing her education and running career at Syracuse University.
The younger Ian was ninth overall with a time a 53:34 and won the male 12-to-24 age group. He will be a sophomore at Allegany this fall and was the top freshman runner in the state in the 3200-meter run this spring after earning all-state honors in cross country by finishing 15th. He could become that somebody who could beat Monseau someday.
