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!
