2009 PanAmerican Championships

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

IconOne Athletes represented the United States very well this past weekend. Alexandra Weber, Ben Steavenson, and Keith Yoho all traveled for the first Junior Elite International event of the season.

The morning was very windy with air temps in the low 60s. The Jr. Elite Women were first and Alex stepped onto the pontoon ready for a great day. She finished 12th with a fantastic run.
Jr. Elite Women Results. Her next event will be this weekend at the Capitol of Texas World Qualifier.

Shortly, the men took to the pontoon. Ben & Keith dove off into the murky water. The swim was a bit of a disappointment for both but Ben worked his way up the field with a strong bike/run for 21st. Keith did fantastic in his first triathlon in 1.5yrs, his first ever draft legal event which just happen to be an international championship! Not bad for the former swimmer.
Jr. Elite Men Results

All 3 are looking forward to upcoming races and continued improvement this season.

I was on the plane reading my latest issue of Triathlon Life magazine and psyched for a great weekend of racing at the PanAmerican Champs. Suddenly I was distracted by the accumulation of outstanding achievements by IconOne athletes published from last year. The feats of 2008 deserve their own Blog post and an expression of my pride and gratitude for their contribution to the team and to the sport.
