RACING, Racing, racing ...

The last few weeks has seen lots of racing across the USA AND North America ... and more to come this weekend! Athlete updates, here we go ...


John Lander: - The man is back and rolling this year! Most recently John was able to win the TBF Olympic Distance Race Series by running his way to the victory over his rival. Great to see John back and having better luck this year to go along with the hard work he puts in. The victory was well deserved!

Lori O'Lin:
- 3rd in her category and top 15 overall at River Cities Tri (Louisiana) as a lead in to Ironman Canada
- Doing her first Ironman at Canada last week Lori finished in style going under 12hrs. Considering her "limited" training ,and demanding work schedule, that number is much more impressive than it appears!

Phil Johnson: - After a freshening up period post vineman, Phil went to take on the Lake Stevens Ironman 70.3 ... happy to say mission accomplished with an A.G. 9th and a 70.3 Championship qualifying spot. Well done Phil!!!

Troy Tuscher: - Troy also headed up to Lake Stevens with Phil and rolled through a smoother day than the tough one he had at Vineman!

Dana Chance: - With a Kona spot in pocket from Austria earlier in the year, Dana headed to Ironman Canada (for about the 100th time) with less weight on her shoulders and an open mind. Well, Dana went more than 10 minutes faster than she ever has up at IMC and landed herself a spot on the awards podium (5th) ... next up KONA, gotta keep it rolling!


Marie Muchow:
- Marie had a nice smooth day at the Santa Rosa Half Marathon as she prepares for the San Jose Rock & Roll and the Cal International Marathon! She's got her mojo back ;)


Rob Henley:
- Rob wrapped up his tri-revival season with a solid day at the Pigman Half (Iowa) in very difficult racing conditions. Next up for Rob is the chicago Marathon!


I think that covers it for now ... DL
