One2Tri Racing Revs it up at Rev3 Knoxville!

One2Tri Racing teammates traveled to Knoxville, TN - home of Coach Nicole's alma matter, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, to race in the 2nd annual Rev3 Olympic and Half Iron distance races. Boy did Jim and Nicole show up to race!


Jim Kunevicius competed with some of the best pros in the world in the 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.  Jim nagged an 8th age group slot by picking off 27 people in his age group on the bike and the run alone!  Despite a 4:00 penalty, Jim rolled in with a 5:13 total time and a 35th overall place.  An successful race for Jim but be on the lookout look for an even stronger second half of the season for Jim as he gears up for IM Lake Placid - a course very well suited for strong cyclists like himself!

Kudos also go out to Coach Nicole who took a 3rd place age group and a 7th place overall amateur with an outstanding 2:26 total time on the Olympic distance race (0.9 mile swim / 24.8 mile bike and 10k run)!  Per usual, Nicole posted the #1 swim time in her division with a 23:47 (1:39 per 100 meter pace!), and posted very solid bike and run times.

Congrats to both Jim and Nicole for an awesome weekend of racing!
