Stumpy Creek Olympic

One2Tri Racing was all around racing today and made a huge showing at the Stumpy Creek Olympic.  Joey Church, Kim Eagens, Jim Kunevicious and Tom O'Donnell took on the 1500 meter swim, 27 mile bike and 10k run, while Michael Starkey, Tom Patch and Nicole Gross also competed in the event, as members of various relay teams.

Kim Eagens - ready to swim

Congratulations to Joey and Kim who both earned 1st place age group positions, but were both unfortunately assessed 2:00 min penalties for non-visible run numbers at the finish line, thus were both bumped down the 2nd place age group places.  Joey finished in 2:19:44 (2:21:44 official penalty time) and ran a solid 39:20 10k (6:19/mile pace) on a very hilly course.  Kim turned in the 4th fastest female bike split with only 22 seconds seperating 4th and 2nd (who happens to be a pro triathlete!) riding a 1:12:43 (22.3mph) and a total time of 2:35:25 (2:27:25 official penalty time).

Tom O'd off to swim

Congratulations to Jim Kunevicius who raced his final race in prep for IM Lake Placid next weekend.  Jim posted a 3rd place age group place with a 2:23:52 and also ran a solid run on a hilly course with a 39:14 (6:18/mile pace)!  Tom O'Donnell also had a solid day turning in a 2:35:07.  Nicole Gross and Tom Patch dominated their swim and run legs of the One2Tri Racing relay.  Nicole posted a strong 26:17 swim (1:36/100 meters) and Tom ran a solid 10k time of 44:32 (7:10/mile pace) for the first place mixed gender relay team (by nearly 10 minutes)!  Michael Starkey biked a blazing fast 1:07:46 (23.9 mph) for his relay team who took 1st place in the all male relay team division (by over 5 minutes!)
