PORTLAND — Scott Yeomans doesn't pay much attention to who might be nearby on open-water swims. But he can tell you he was never completely alone Saturday morning when he won the YMCA Peaks to Portland swim for the third straight year.
Kirsten Read of Arundel was the top female finisher (13th overall) in her first attempt at the swim, finishing in 55:08. Read, 48, edged Sarah Guerette of Portland, 32, by 1:35.
Read was pleased with her swim, given her recovery from shoulder surgery 18 months ago and the support she got from her husband, Bruce, who was her kayaker.
"It's been a long road back from shoulder surgery so I'm really excited to be healthy again," she said. "You keep up with whomever you can keep up with. You just go as fast as you can, have a good time and hope for the best. Whatever place you come in, you come in."
