Congratulations to everyone on a safe and speedy race!

Becky finished in 14:44:45 and Liz came in at 16:09:18. These ladies are true champions as they faced some tough conditions in Coeur D’Alene. The water temperature in the lake on race day was 59.5F which left swimmers nearly incoherent as they exited the water. Once they thawed out they dealt with a very hilly course and extremely windy conditions on the bike. They certainly earned their Ironman stripes. As they say at every Ironman finish line… “Liz and Becky, you are an IRONMAN!” Congratulations.

Matt Long will be moving into the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO on July 14 to start a 5-week training camp with the USAT U23 National squad. This camp is by invitation only from the USAT elite development department. It is quite an honor that Matt was selected for this camp after just one year in the sport. He will be in for lots of hard work for certain (at altitude too)!

June 15, 2008 - Report from World Championships: While everyone was suffering through an early summer heat wave at home, Matt Long and Coach Kathleen were shivering at the ITU World Championship Triathlon in Vancouver, Canada. They faced unseasonably cold 55 F water and 50 F air temperatures coupled with consistent drizzle. The 1.5k swim was shortened to 1k due to the cold water. Things became even more trying on race day when winds kicked up 5-8 ft. swells later in the morning which resulted in the swim portion of the race being cancelled after Coach Kathleen's wave swam! The swim was replaced with a 3k run turning the triathlon into a 3k-40k-10k duathlon for all the men and older women. Matt really stepped up to the challenge and finished 4th 20-24M, just missing the 3rd place podium spot by 12 seconds. Amazing performance! Coach Kathleen finished 22nd 45-49F.

Thank You! Coach Kathleen thanks the many TriSuccess athletes who volunteered at the Du Run Run Duathlon: Maureen Sanderson, Marne McLyman, Ryan McKinney, Cindy McCloskey, Rebecca Villers and Kris, Howard Newsom, Liz Wilson and Mike Betts for the use of his truck and tents. You are all wonderful. Thanks so much! Coach Caroline is taking over the reins as race director for this popular event in 2009.
