Weekend Race Report May 5, 2008

Shelley Probber has proven she is definitely a force to be reckened with. She completed the most challenging Wildflower 1/2IM in a time of 7:08.21 to finish 7th in AG F50-54.
She sums her experience as...
"Finished the Wildflower That was the hardest race I have ever done! The swim was great, the bike was way hard--but I did it! and the run was...no words to describe this nasty run. There was one hill on the run that was almost too difficult to walk up, let alone run All those 8% inclines on the TM really helped me get through this run. What a sense of accomplishment! Wisconsin IM here I come!"

But first she is taking a well deserved break in the wine country.
Wildflower results

Alex Weber finished 1st AG 16-19 and 5th overall woman at the Benbrook Triathlon in Dallas. Coming off a great performance in Alabama she completed the event in 1:10 showing that her swim/run combo are very strong!

New Braunfels:
First I must recognize Shelley Probber for her effort on April 13 at the Aquarena Springs Triathlon. She is on a roll with a 2-0 this season. She completed a very strong run to finish first in the AGF50-54. You go girl!

Definitely inspired by the Olympic Trials held on Saturday,
Travis Decker (5th Overall- 1st Male Junior),
Mark Saroni (7th Overall - 2nd Male Junior), and
Alexandra Weber (7th Overall Female and 3rd Female Junior) left no doubt that they are ready to compete in Vancouver in June.
Junior World Qualifier (Tuscaloosa Triathlon) results



Mazatlan, Mexico.
Kate Ross had a bit of bad luck as incredibly rough surf (10-12ft swells- no joke!) and a flat tire left her short of her goals. None- the- less, we are waiting for information from USAT as to her ability to compete at the world championships. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
Pan American Champ Results:

Congrats to Shelley Probber, 1st Overall Female at the Sr. Games of Texas Triathlon San Antonio on Saturday.

Here is her comment from the race:
"Had a great race. My T1 was way too long, but I came in 1st! Almost beat the first male, but I just couldn't catch him."

It is important to note that she has improved her swim by over :15/100! Toodles to all the hard work this winter. Do I dare say her age???? :-).
