With the recent retirment of triathlon great Simon Lessing, I thought we would honor him with a picture on the blog for this installment. I have been fortunate enough to meet Simon, watch him race with great tenacity and laugh at his sense of humor over the past few years ... a sense of humor some just don't get. Best of luck Simon!
Now, I wanted to take a moment to recognize some terrific performances over the last few weeks as we round out 2008.
Dana Chance ... capped off the season with a great race at the Longhorn Ironman 70.3. Her main goal was to go under 5:00 on a tough course and she did just that! It also netted here an age group third place. Rest up Dana!
Chuck Sloan ... back at USAT Age Group Nationals Chuck didn't have the race we wanted but he still managed the fastest run split and qualified for the 2009 ITU World Championships in Australia. Chuck passed on the slot as he chooses to tackle some longer distances races in 2009.
Amanda Erwin ... over the last couple weeks Amanda has had two first class performances. Earlier in the month she finished 6th overall (Elite Age Group) at the Toyota US Open in Dallas , Tx. While recently she finished 5th overall at the Best of The US Championship in Tempe, AZ. A race that brings state champions from around the USA together for an end of the year "smack down"
More next week on "The Lab" ;) ... DL
