The 2011 season has started off very well for the One2Tri Racing squad with several team members already claiming victories at local events!
Let's get to know our One2Tri Racing 2011 winners…so far! As you recall, Greg Shore, Keith Mrocheck, Tom Patch and Danielle Crockford have claimed either age group or overall victories to date…
Greg Shore has many years left in his triathlon and running career to make a well-known name for himself. Having run for Belmont Abbey College for four years, Greg qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2008 with a blazing time of 3:08 at the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte, NC. Like many, Greg’s love for running has morphed into a passion for triathlon. In his 3-year triathlon career, Greg has qualified for USAT Age Group Nationals three times already ; twice in the intermediate distance and once in the long-course distance! Greg prefers the Olympic distance triathlon and his ideal running distance is the 8k. Greg kicked off his 2011 season on a positive foot with an overall win at the YMCA Siskey Mini Sprint triathlon and a 1st place age group finish at the Charlotte Running Company Trail Race 4-mile event, despite not considering himself a “trail-runner”. Greg hopes to get stronger, faster and smarter throughout his 2011 season and is also looking to run a sub 16:30 independent 5k as well as a 17:30 5k off his bike in a triathlon.
After growing up in Boynton Beach, FL, Greg currently lives outside of Charlotte, NC in Matthews. Greg currently works as an accountant for Filters Fast.

Keith Mrocheck is One2Tri Racing’s resident expert trail runner that can cycle with the best of them. Keith has been running since high school and subsequently spent one-year competing for the Denison University cross country team. Since, Keith has completed more races than we have room to list but prefers longer (13+ mile) trail races. His career highlights have generally come in the Uwharrie Mountain Run 20-mile Trail Race, where he has placed 2nd overall in both 2008 and 2010. Keith started the 2011 season off on the right foot with an overall victory at the Charlotte Running Company (our Sponsor!) 9-mile Trail Race at the US National White Water Center with an incredible time of 1:01:24. Keith is looking for triathlon revenge in 2011 after a tough day at Ironman 70.3 Augusta in 2010, is looking to post a sub-3:00 road-marathon time and complete his first ultra-distance 100-mile event in either Leadville, Coloroda or the Wasatch mountains in Utah.
Keith currently resides in Charlotte, NC with his wife Mary Lee and his little girl, Ellington. Keith was born in Somerville, NJ and later headed south to study law at Washington and Lee University until 1998. Keith is currently a lawyer/shareholder in Winstead PC’s Finance & Banking Practice Group where he focuses his practice primarily on finance (often real-estate related) transactional work.

You can often find Tom Patch, One2Tri Racing’s ultra-distance guru, spending the majority of his 48-hour weekends running – very far! Tom brings years and years of knowledge and experience to the Racing team; he has completed 20+ ultra-distance races, including a 24-hour race, a 100-mile race, eight 50-mile events, 25 marathons and countless others. Tom’s running career began in 2005 when he completed his first half-marathon in an effort to get active and lose some weight. His desire to lose weight has since evolved into a passion and excellence for long-distance events. His career highlights include completing his first 100-mile race in less than 24-hours and completing four races of marathon-distance or greater throughout October in 2009, PR’ing in three of the distances (marathon, 50k and 40-miler) and qualifying for the coveted Boston and NYC Marathon’s. Tom plans to dust off his swim goggles and bike cleats after a 4-year hiatus and try his hand at the Latta Sprint triathlon in 2011.
Tom was born and raised in Washington, DC and now resides in Charlotte, NC with his wife of 24 years, Valerie. He has worked with Bank of America since 1977 where he is in Human Resources. Tom is also an RRCA certified running coach.
