A BIG Weekend for One2Tri Racing

Saturday, March 5th was a very good day for the One2Tri Racing team.  Athletes were out and about showing off their speed and taking podium spots.

Kim Eagens, Robin Farina, Jim Kunevicus, Keith Mrocheck and Tom O'Donnell participated in the fun and super fast Waxhaw Duathlon (2 mile run, 18.6 mile bike, 2 mile run) outside of Charlotte, NC.

A special congratulations to Robin Farina who took a 1st place female with a super fast 1:17:21 and and an 8th place overall!!  Kim Eagens took a 3rd place female podium spot with a 1:21:30.  Keith Mrocheck just barely edged out Robin with a 1:17:15 for a 7th place overall finish and Jim Kunevicius had a solid race with a 1:18:32 taking a 9th place overall and a 3rd place age group finish.  Tom O'Donnell rounded out the One2Tri team finishes edging out Kim with a 1:20:53 for a 3rd place age group finish!  Congrats to all the Duathletes!

Tom Patch muscled out a PR at the Umstead Marathon in Raleigh, NC with a solid 4:01:44 - a PR on the grueling course by 17+ minutes!  Congrats to Tom (pictured)!!

Last, but certainly not least, Greg Shore got his feet wet in draft-legal racing at the Clermont Challenge in Clermont, FL.  Greg had a phenomenal experience with a very new and challenging type of racing compared to non-draft legal triathlon.  In draft-legal triathlon, exiting the swim in the lead pack is the only way an athlete will have a chance at the podium due to the extreme benefits (speed and energy consumption) of riding in a group.  Greg was within a minute of the lead pack and still turned out a blazing fast 18:50 5k after riding essentially alone for the whole race.  Greg came home with the 42nd spot and an experience that will last a lifetime.

Congrats to all of the One2Tri Racers for a super fast day today!
