This weekend was exciting for the One2Tri Racing squad! Not only did the team see Michael Starkey qualify for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, one athlete was blazing the trails in the mountains and setting PR's and one athlete was trying her hand at bike racing...and having some pretty good beginners luck!
Tom Patch completed the Grandfather Mountain Marathon winds through the Blue Ridge Mountains and features nearly 1,000 feet of climbing!! Tom Finished 10th in his age group with a 4:06 total time, despite suffering cramps at mile 26. Most importantly, Tom PR'd his previous time in this race by 17 minutes!!
Kim Eagens spent her weekend on the bike racing circuit at the Piedmont Omnium Time Trial and Road Race in Lexington, NC. Friday's nights time trail featured a 14.6 mile course which Kim completed in :35:23 (25 mph) and took 1st place for the Cat 3/4 female racers. Kim finished just :12 seconds off the winner of the Cat 1/2 race. On Sunday, Kim took to true bike racing in the 38.4 mile road race. Kim had a very solid day of racing and came across the final sprint in 7th overall! Look out for Kim as she continues to work on her racing tactics for the 2012 cycling season!
Congrats to Tom and Kim for a great weekend of PR's and new experiences!
