CATCHING UP

What can I say? I'm behind but that doesn't mean the team hasn't been

performing and movin' on!

Lots of exciting news.

• Huge Congrats to Alexandra Weber (13) and Mark Saroni (64) who put in phenominal efforts at Collegiate Nationals last weekend. The water was a brisk 53 degrees and wind was a force to be reckoned with. You can watch their performances on a very cool new website http://www.zumtri.com/ Keep in mind that the site has overlapped ALL waves so what you see what would have happened if they started everyone all together.
  Yes, I was supposed to be at this event but instead I spent all weekend at San Antonio's Airport, never left, caught a cold and my computer got a virus. Not a whole lot to brag about there.


• Audrey Manchester rocked the Female U19 LoneStar Triathlon Festival in Galveston. Results


• Kate Ross is a member of the USA Triathlon Trade Team that received lots of goodies from their supporters. Video of the most recent camp in COS.


• Kim Oerkfitz completed her first ever 1/2IronMan at the inaugural New Orleans 70.3.


• Several athletes have had top performances at their respective district track meets. Congrats to all of you!

Weekend Race Report July 21, 2008

The whole story?!

Shirley Flores found her stride at the VineMan 70.3 race in California.
Her time of 6:39:24 doesn't tell the whole story. Why?
For starters she had PR performances on the swim and run AND did the entire race on her road bike - no aerobars. On Monday last week Shirley decided to do the race on the only bike she had completed and boarded a plane. She didn't find an excuse for the fact that her TT bike wasn't ready she just headed for CA and had a great race. Good Job!

Cycling:
Last week Tuesday Alexandra Weber stepped up to the world of Bike racing. She completed her first crit and is looking forward to the next one!

Daniel Vertiz also participated in his first ever Cycling Race at the July Series event held at Texas Research Park. He stayed with the Cat 5 field for the entire road race and finished the TT with style. Spin on!

Meanwhile Travis Decker lite up the junior field in the same cycling event. While chasing overall points for our partner team, Joe's Pro Bikes, Travis set the record straight with smashing victories in both the road race and TT over the junior fields.

Teamwork

The Couples Triathlon is a unique event in which the combined score of two competitors makes a final time.

Mike and Hunter Overly showed how a family can take over (literally) in an event. Their combined finishing score allowed them to win their category by over 41min! Wow!
