Now Introducing - Michael Beacham and Jim Kunevicius!

Michael Beacham navigates the woods and trails unlike any other One2Tri Racing team member.  Michael has been adventure racing since 2000 and has completed numerous events of all distances including the Endorphine Fix a 40 hour race, thirteen 24-hour events, multiple 12-hour events and various other shorter races.  Michael has also completed Ironman Florida in 2008 but was plagued by a back injury in 2009 that kept him from racing for much of the 2009 and 2010 seasons.  Post surgery in January 2010, Michael is back in the saddle and hoping for a healthy 2011 season.  Michael’s career highlight came when he completed the E-Fix in WV, placed 1st overall in the SOAR adventure race two consecutive years, and completed IM Florida in 2008.   Michael is a very strong all around athlete but is looking to qualify for the CheckPoint Tracker National Adventure Race Championship in 2011. 

Michael was born and raised in North Carolina and currently resides in Charlotte.  He is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, RRCA certified running coach and a certified massage therapist and has been the Fitness Director at the Charlotte Athlete Club since 2009.
