One2Tri Racing "Tri's Latta" and Does it Right!

Tri Latta was the One2Tri's first of two team events for the 2011 season....and teammates showed up to race!  The water was warm, the air was warm and the team was on fire!

Nicole heads to the finishing shoot with
Joey Church hot on her tails!
Congrats to Coach Nicole Gross for her 2nd place female finish against a very competitive open division with a total time of 1:26:15.  Kim Eagens picked up a 4th place female finish and a 1st place Age Group (30-34) with a 1:26:43 - just :28 seconds between 2nd and 5th females overall showing the depth of the field.  Danielle Crockford took a 5th place Age Group (30-34) finish with a 1:34:47 in her first open water triathlon ever!!  We'll see her on the podium next year no doubt. 

Starkey finishing strong for a top 10 overall spot
On to the One2Tri Racing men who also showed up to race!  Michael Starkey rolled in with a blazing fast 1:17:49 for a 1st place Age Group position (30-34) and a 10th place overall in a super strong mens field.  Michael just beat out teammate Joey Church, who nabbed a 2nd place Age Group (30-34) with a 1:18:20.  Greg Shore also took a 1st place Age Group finish (20-24) with a total time of 1:21:51, beating 2nd in his age group by over 3 minutes!  Jim Kunevicius, despite faulty components on his bike, snatched up a 3rd place Age Group slot (35-39) with a 1:23:24.  Chad Crockford, also in his first open water triathlon, posted a solid 7th place age group (30-34) with a 1:24:34 and, most notably, the fastest run split of the day with a 17:55.  Tom O'Donnell came in with a solid 1:27:08 for a 9th place Age Group (40-44) and Tom Patch raced a solid 1:41:56 in his first open water triathlon in quite some time.
