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.

First, and before I go into my gracious camp mode we must welcome IconOne's newest member Daniel Vertiz. Daniel is from San Antonio and will race as a youth elite (age 15). Many of you got to meet him at the camp and we are glad to have him as a part of the team.


Second: Many, Many, Many thanks to those that supported and helped with the camps. Above all and the person whom I must express my deepest gratitude is Jeff. His support and love of sport makes all that I do with the team possible. Thank you honey!

Going to Worlds
Coming back from her disappointing flat in Lubbock, Michelle Lester challenged herself at the Amica Ironman 70.3 in Providence, Rhode Island. She was on a mission to qualify for the IronMan World Championships 70.3 and she did!!! She will now compete in Clearwater, FL on Nov. 8, 2008.

Great job Michelle, we are so proud of you!

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!

Stepping Up

Kate Ross promised herself she would go the Olympic Distance this year and she is doing just that. She finished the Stamford KIC IT Triathlon in a time of 2:17 that gave her 2nd overall Female. She makes the 'step-up' look easy!
Results

Shelley Probber and Michelle Lester stepped up to the challenge of the Buffalo Springs 70.3 Event. Shelley placed 14th in the AG 50-54. Unfortunately Michelle experienced a flat that left her race very short of expectations.

Meanwhile Daniel Vertiz participated in the TriRaider Sprint. He had a great race finishing 10th overall and 1st in the AG15-17.

Conquering the Elements

Congratulations goes to the event organizers of the 2008 HyVee Triathlon in DesMoines. Although the excessive rain caused a very dramatic week, they pulled off an incredible event, crowned two Olympians and showed what teamwork can accomplish.



Unfortunately the uncertainty of the event caused great attrition in IconOne attendance. However, a huge At-a- Girl goes to Kate Ross who Won the Junior Elite Female division with the fastest bike and run splits of the day.

Also competing in the Male Youth Elite division were Jake Broyles (19th) and Talbot Cox (23rd). Both competed very well and gained valuable experience that they can carry into the camp and upcoming national championships in August.

They finished 8th & 10th respectively at World Championships on July 6th!

Results

The day was incredibly cold with the water temperatures only 11degrees Celcius(51F). The bike and run offered little more with wind and rain and 13Celcius(55F). It was an incredibly GREAT moment for IconOne and each of these great athletes as they proved to be tough competitors in equally challenging conditions.

Way to go guys!!!
