One2Tri Racing Represents in Boston!

A huge congratulations goes out to Danielle and Chad Crockford, Kim Eagens and Tom Patch for their 2011 Boston Marathon finishes - a second for Tom!!  Each athlete has a very memorable day under their belt and a lot to be proud of.   

Danielle and Chad Crockford continue to impress.  Chad turned in a 6+ minute PR and a 428th overall finish (out of 28,000+ runners) with a swift 2:47:07 (6:23/mile pace)!  As bib # 1063, Chad finished nearly 600 positions higher than his qualifying corral - quite an impressive feat at such a competitive event.

Danielle ran a solid race despite some recent foot pain and crossed the line on Boylston in 3:14:49 (7:26/mile pace).  Danielle finished 381st out of the females and has a lot to be proud of!

Kim Eagens was on pace for a strong 3:25 goal finish until a mishap with a volunteer led to a strain (hopefully not a tear) in her right quad muscle.  Kim muscled through the remainder of the race and turned in a 3:52  marathon despite her intense pain.  Kim hopes to take revenge on Boston sometime around 2020. :)

Tom Patch can hold his head high crossing the line for a Boston PR by nearly 10 minutes with a commendable 3:33:12 (8:08/pace).  Given his bib number of #10,067, his 8,555 finishing place is impressive!

Kim and Tom finish the pre marathon 5k on Sunday...

More pictures to come!  Congratulations to all the One2Tri Racers for even having the opportunity to compete in such an elite event.
  

New Orleans 70.3 Cancels the Swim....

2011 has been filled with crazy weather so far and this past weekend did not prove any different.  Heavy winds on Lake Pontchartrain forced the swim portion of the Ironman 70.3 New Orleans leaving One2Tri teammates Michael Starkey and Jim Kunevicious to race the event duathlon style!  


Being such strong cyclists and runners, the cancellation of the swim helped Michael Starkey earn a 10th place 30-34 age group finish with a remarkable 3:51:15.  Michael biked the 56-mile bike course in 2:24:05 (23.32 mph) and ran the 13.1 miles in 1:25:22 (6:30/mile pace)!!  A very strong day for Michael.  


Jim Kunevicious also turned in impressive times for a 13th age group (35-39) place with a 4:01:21.  Jim rolled through the 56 mile bike ride in 2:29:18 (22.51 mph) and turned in a 1:29:50 half marathon (6:51/mile pace).  


Overall, a very impressive showing from One2Tri Racing at IM New Orleans 70.3!  Congrats guys! 

Check back soon!

Tom O'Donnell and Kim Eagens turned in some long training miles for upcoming marathons before the 8k but still turned in solid race times.  Tom grabbed a 2nd place age group with a 32:46 (6:34/mile pace) and Kim turned in a 35:18 (7:06/mile pace) despite the additional miles on their legs.

Overall a phenomenal showing by One2Tri Racing at the Elizabeth 8k!  A special thanks One2Tri Racers Tom Patch and Michael Beacham for riding as pacers for the race leaders and to Amanda Loftus for all of her efforts organizing the race!  Another very successful year.

A Congrats and a Thank You!

One2Tri Racing would like to congratulate Joey Church for his work this past weekend at the Cooper River Bridge Run.  Despite a strong headwind for over 3 miles of the run, Joey hung in and finished with a strong 10k PR of 37:46 (6:05/mile pace)!

Also, thank you to Tom Patch for pacing his friend for 50-miles (yes...five, zero) at the Umstead 100-miler in Raleigh, NC this weekend.  What a great support system Tom is!  

Last but certainly NOT least...now introducing, Joey Church!

Joey Church joins the One2Tri Racing team like may of the other team members - as a runner.  Joey began running at the age of 15 where he ran middle and long distance track and field in high school.  Throughout his college years, however, Joey replaced his track shoes with a certain popular college adult beverage, like many do.  About 6 years ago, Joey decided it was time to live a healthier lifestyle which led to triathlons in 2009.  Joey's preferred race distance is sprint triathlon but he's not afraid to admit he's looking to take the gold in the Beer Mile in 2011 (chug 1 beer every .25 miles) after coming home with a disappointing bronze in 2010.  Joey is also looking to improve incrementally in all three disciplines in 2011; he has re-introduced a structured workout regime for the first time since high school and is using the expertise of professional cyclist and One2Tri Racing's own, Robin Farina, for his bike skills.  


Joey attended college at UNC-Charlotte and currently lives in Uptown.  He has worked for Dassault Systems since 2004 in various positions and is currently in Technical Sales.  


Joey's 2011 race schedule is as follows: 


3/12/2011 - Sampson Country Super Sprint (1st place overall)
3/27/2011 - Cool breeze Sprint (1st place AG)

4/1/2011  -  Cooper River 10k (PR - 37:46)
5/1/2011  -  St Croix Ironman 70.3
6/11/2011 - TriLatta Sprint
6/18/2011 - Bandits Challenge Olympic
7/16/2011 - Stumpy creek Olympic
8/27/2011 - Lake Norman Sprint9/23/2011 - Augusta Ironman 70.3
