Team member Natalie Jackson showed them what we are made of when she lit up the bike course at Lake Placid Ironman on July 22 ,coming home with impressive results - finished 8^th overall woman and 4^th in age group (fiercely competitive).  Nat's comments "Was a tough day with heat and winds on the bike…making an already tough course even tougher!! Now I am taking my fitness and moving on to race Louisville!" way to represent Nat!

Supporting the Marin Century

This past weekend saw the team support a local event, the Marin Century. It was an epic day! Fun, fast, cold - great opportunity to work on some new nutrition plans with use of great aid stations and course mapped out!!! Fun to see team members popping up everywhere amongst it!

Look out 70.3 World Championships, here comes Jeri Howland!

Team Director Jeri Howland recently qualified for the 70.3 World Championships by winning her age division with an impressive third victory at Lake Stevens 70.3 race. Don't count her out on September 9 in Las Vegas; she's hit the podium three times at the Long Course World Championships.

 

Race day at Lake Stevens 70.3 was cold, wet and windy. Jeri was first of the ladies in white caps coming out of the 1.2 mile swim; the new 56 mile bike course proved to be especially technical with the rain; but she held her ground eventually capturing the age group win by over 13 minutes to her nearest competitor. The cooler temperatures, she agrees, suited her well although it took 4 miles to feel her feet on the run!

 

 

Felicity "Flick" Joyce Comes Back from Injury to Qualify for 70.3 Worlds

Flick took on the Vineman 70.3 on July 15th despite coming off some serious injuries. With the help of Dr. Maderis of the Marin Natural Medicine Clinic, Flick was able to exceed expectations in a red hot field, hitting a PR in the swim, bike, run and personal best race by over 14 min to break 5hrs, placing her in top ten and also earning her slot to the 70.3 Word championships! That makes it two for two for the team this weekend. Dedication and perseverance are what racing is all about!
