HOWLS
We've had some great racing over the past several weeks. And now have 16 Personal Bests and logged 62 podiums! Let's Go!
Adam "The Kaiju" Smith took 1st Place Clydesdale (4th M40-44) at the Steamboat Gravel Triathlon! Really fantastic race for The Kaiju as he begins the misery road to IronMan Chattanooga. Time to suffer Adam!
Also at Steamboat Gravel Tri, our Taylor ("Warrior Princess" Veranth) after completing the Triple Bypass 125 Mile Bike Ride, outperformed the other "Taylor's" racing in Paris; Spivey (10th) and Knibb (18th) to take 1st F25-29! IronMan Wisconsin is a month away!
RJ "The BoogeyMan" Boergers won M40-49 at the Lake Placid Mini Tri (Sprint Distance)!
Also, at NJ State Sprint Tri, Lisa "SheWolf" Rosynsky placed 4th F40-44 and, as the race was also the USA Tri NJ State Sprint Championships, she placed 2nd F40-44!
Also at the NJ State, in the Olympic Distance, Andy "The Hammer" Solomon took 4th place M50-54 and 2nd M50-54 for the USA Tri NJ State Championships,. He then followed up that performance with another 4th M50-54 at the Steelman Olympic Tri in New Jersey. This one was tough to swallow as his Swim/Bike/Run times collectively were better than 2nd and 3rd, but he had a mess of a T1 due to issues with removing his wetsuit and putting on his bike shoes...
Also, at NJ State Sprint Tri, Matt "Jiffy" Lubiak raced with his kids in a relay at the NJ State Sprint Tri (surprise, he was the runner); then, followed that up with an impressive performance at IronMan 70.3 Maine where he slid just under 5:10. Jiffy has been massively evolving as a racer and amazing to see his progress throughout the year (and, he ages up to M55-59 in 2025...)
Also at IronMan 70.3 Maine, Jimmy "Skeletor: Dion worked through injuries to come in just over 5 hours! Jimmy has Kona on the horizon.
Eric "The Butcher" Gutknecht raced the KowTown 65 Mile Gravel Race in Kremmling, Colorado (pretty much the middle of nowhere out there... :); then, a couple weeks later took 2nd Overall at the Tri-Boulder The Beast (Long Course) Aquabike! The Butcher has the World Championship in Townsville, Australia coming up soon where he'll be racing the Long Course Aquabike!
Finally, at Tri-Boulder Sprint Tri (USA Tri State Championships) Chris Kachinsky took 3rd Overall Female and I won M55-59 (8th Overall); and, as the race was also the USA Tri Colorado State Sprint Triathlon Championships, we were both 1st in AG.
2024 Personal Record (16) and Podium (62) Counter = 78!
