Jackie Nunes

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Jackie took one more step toward her Big Goal, not giving up on a less than ideal day and leaving everything she had on the course. Love her grit and perseverance!

Ed Mugnani

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Ed put up a 70.3 run PR off a bike with an increase of 10W - now that is a strong day!

Mike Bates

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Mike took nearly 20 minutes off his prior 70.3 run time despite a more challenging bike course (which he also crushed). Really solid day on the course for Mike!

Bud Winn

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Good race from Bud after a tough winter battling some limited time to train issues. Well done and this boost in fitness will help Bud with the rest of his races in 2019.

Julie Dunkle

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Back on top of the podium at Oceanside for Julie. Had some mechanical issues but the run pulled her through this time! Great job gutting it out.

Scott Brooks

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Great run from Scott with a 1:31:09 and strong day overall while training through the race for IM Santa Rosa.

Taylor Brinkman

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Great performance in tough conditions with 70.3 PR and sub 1:30 run split!

Mike Cragg

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

A really well executed day for Mike! The plan was to hold back on the bike and put out a solid run, and he did just that. A great redemption day from St G '18!

Laura Simenson

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

A fabulous day for Laura, right in the midst of IM Boulder training. It's a tough course to hit on minimal rest, but Laura executed her day well and validated that all her IM training has built up a fabulous base of fitness.

Jen Carpio

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Well done by Jen! Great sub 2:00 run on a very tough course!

Mike Smith

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Solid swim/bike combo on a challenging course. Had back spasms on the run which slowed his pace but pushed through to the finish.

Ellee Diamond

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

A fantastic day for Ellee, especially given that she's been relegated to indoor training all season long! She didn't let the rain on the bike or the heat on the run stop her, and she was just a calf cramp away from hitting the podium.

Julie Dunkle

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Great day for Julie - taking the win while training through a bib block!

Kris Plant

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Very good race for Kris today. Despite the rough, non-wetsuit swim and warm temps (coming from Toronto where it has been snowing) Kris put together a solid race. She was moving through the field on the bike when she was derailed by a puncture and had to wait for tech support which cost her valuable time. She went for it on the run and ran her way to a 70.3 World Championship slot!

Jack Toland

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Absolutely brilliant race for Jack. Nailed his targets across the board with pacing, energy management and fueling/hydration. Earned a Kona slot today!

Scott Brooks

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Tough day for Scott but still a PR by 4 minutes from last year. He showed his mental tenacity by pushing through even though it would have been easy to drop out. Onto the next one and a better result!

Sam Martini

Notes from Coach Mike

Out of 26,000+ runners Sam trained through the Brooklyn 1/2 and ran a respectable 1:30:22. Great job Sam! Keep it going.

Boris Bourdin

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Very good race overall. Boris set up his race with a controlled swim and was able to effectively manage the effort over the challeging bike course with over 4k ft. of climbing. Road bike set up probably would have been better than his TT bike. He was able to run smooth and controlled off the bike with good fueling & hydration

Taylor Brinkman

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Taylor Brinkman had a solid race at 70.3 Chattanooga this weekend. We had a lot of things we wanted to work on from 70.3 Texas (only 6 weeks earlier), and not a lot of time to do it. I threw a big workload at Taylor, and never doubted that he would rise to the challenge. He had a 15 watt NP improvement on the bike course, only ran 3 minutes slower on a significantly hillier course (after a significantly hillier bike course), and even though the swim was shortened, we're still going to count it as an overall 70.3 PR. But I'm most proud of the way he stayed committed to the plan, fought through the biggest TSS weeks of his season, and dove head first into his mental goals to come away with a great performance.

Brian Duffy

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Great race execution by Brian - solid swim, although shortened and good power throughout the bike. He finished with a strong run and placed well in a stacked field! Congrats Brian!

Tammy Powell

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Strong day of racing for Tammy - great swim, strong bike and run. In the middle of an IM training block Tammy raced well on tired legs. Great racing Tammy!

Mike Smith

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Great race for Mike and second fastest half marathon to date.

Mike Smith

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Very strong race coming off the half marathon from the day before this one. A bit of a last minute decision to race it and legs responded well. Earned himself a podium spot!

Mike Bates

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Mike did an amazing job executing his race! He wrote his plan on his arm and was crazy disciplined in following it. That's how you do it!

Karen Rice

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Alex Dreu

Notes from Coach Julie Dunkle

Super solid day! In the middle of Challenge Roth training and managing a foot injury this is super solid! well done trusting the process and putting together a great race.

Emerson Sharpe

Notes from Coach George Epley

The heat played a significant role in Emersons run times. During the bike, he consumed over 150oz of fluid, but never felt the need to expel urine. We made efforts to acclimate to the expected heat, but the cool Denver temps did not provide any benefit to our goals.

Julie Dunkle

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

A really tough day for Julie at IM Honu 70.3. A solid swim and a great bike put her 1st in the AG off the bike, but the heat on the run was tough and Julie ended up in 10th. She's still working through some nutrition planning in the heat. Great effort on finishing and she'll be back on track for the next one.

Casey Fleming

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Casey has been (reluctantly) trusting our shorter duration, higher intensity training plan this year and she seems to set PR's at almost every race. At this race, she broke the 2:30 barrier for an Oly and ran a 41:16 10k! I can't wait to see what's next for Casey!

Kristen Wueste

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Great race overall. Set up her day with strong swim/bike combo and pushed through for the win!

Jack Toland

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Very solid race coming off a two week break post IM Santa Rosa. First week back to training and executed well. Energy levels great throughout the race.

Bud Winn

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Good race for Bud coming off vacation and getting back into the race scene - he broke 2:30 which was solid based on current fitness. This was a great tuneup with the Sprint Tri season about to start. Great job Bud!

Dave Donoghue

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Dave had a great at the Sprint Tri at Leon's leading from swim start to run finish! This was a last minute addition to the schedule and Dave crushed it!

Reyn Cabinte

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Wow, what a day for Reyn! He's worked hard this season to improve his bike, and man did it show. It's a hilly, tough bike course and despite that he hit the same split as his 70.3 from last year, and then ran nearly the same split ON A BROKEN TOE! Just amazing.

Ellee Diamond

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Awesome day for Ellee! Just 4 weeks after IM 70.3 Virginia and she still managed to drop a ton off time relative to St George last year (a pretty comparable race). She even managed to run strong despite limited run training due to a calf/Achilles strain at 70.3VA. Way to go Ellee!

Jason Faulconer

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

This was Jason's first triathlon in a few years, and he put in a solid effort to give us an idea of where we have to build for Ironman Mont Tremblant in a few months. This guy is not afraid of some hard work so I know the improvements we make in June and July will be epic.

Stephanie Ernst

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Solid 1st race of the season for Steph! her goal was 5:25 and she eclipsed that with a 5:22 - great job Steph!

Mike Bates

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

What a day! Mike did great on a very hilly, foggy, and wet bike course - one of those days when you're really happy to get that over with! - and then went onto a hilly run course where he beat his open 10k time ... from last weekend. Awesome job and a great sign of more to come this season.

Paul Stasiewicz

Notes from Coach Dave Sheanin

Mike Schindler

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

This was Mike's first race back after a bad wreck last year, and it was great to have him back in action! He had a really smart, well paced bike (hello, power meter!), and gave it his all on the run. A few things to tweak leading into 70.3 Atlantic City but overall a great day!

Sam Martini

Notes from Coach Mike

Great race! Incredible effort and execution for Sam against some AG Elites from NY. Sam took home 1st by 4 minutes!

Natalie Marovek

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Great race for Natalie. She's in the middle of IM training for IM Lake Placid and took an easy week to taper for IM Eagleman 70.3 - what a great day! Congrats!

Robert Bossert

Notes from Coach Jim Hallberg

Cindy Banchy

Notes from Coach Julie Dunkle

solid day for Cindy! after a fall early in the week the race was iffy, but she persevered and had a great day. Way to go!

Sarah Peltier

Notes from Coach Julie Dunkle

great swim and solid bike but the run was a struggle from mile 14 on but Sarah took tt mile by mile and got to the finish line! Sometimes quitting seems like the best option but she persevered for another Ironman finish

Beata Pabian

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Beata wanted to shave an hour off of her IMB'19 time, and she did exactly that! Another year stronger, another year wiser (thank you, power meter), and nearly 40 degrees cooler, plus a healthy dose of grit and determination propelled her to the finish 61 minutes faster than last year. How great to achieve that goal!

Carla Laukka

Notes from Coach Jim Hallberg

Kelly Malone

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Kelly Malone pushed through to his 15th Ironman finish this past weekend at IM Boulder. Great to have him repping D3 on the course with our other teammates. He set up his day with one of his best IM swims and a well-paced/managed bike which had him positioned for a top 20 AG spot. Unfortunately some nausea crept in early in the run and he was never able to get past it Some great takeaways for his next IM in Mont Tremblant.

Lawrence Gray

Notes from Coach Julie Dunkle

Today was about finishing!! super solid race... faded a bit on the run but gutted it out for a solid finish

Alison Freeman

Notes from Coach Julie Dunkle

Solid swim and bike was nearly perfect, the run was a struggle but Alison gutted it out and got to the finish line. A cold day added some challenges but she persevered

Laura Simenson

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Laura came into the season asking me to dial up her training a solid notch. I was happy to comply, and even happier with the results she achieved off the training! She shaved almost 45 minutes off her combined swim and bike times and came in with a solid IM PR. Laura is also the happiest person you'll ever see on an IM course. All smiles and fun!

Jen Carpio

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Jen had a great day racing in Boulder - being from sea-level she had no issue and kicked butt on this course! Great job Jen! Great execution and what a day!

Theo Gunkler

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Theo's goal was to break 14 hours and he smashed that today! What a great day for him - great execution and mental toughness. Congrats Theo!

Mike Smith

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Fantastic race experience for Mike! He had a great day and set up his race with a very strong swim. Using his open water swim experience he was able to successfully navigate the tricky currents. He felt strong on the bike and worked through the challenging run and sand ladder in good order.

Laura Marcoux

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Karen Rice

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

This race is impossible to compare to any other, in terms of distances or PR's, but the goal for Escape from Alcatraz is to push yourself out of your comfort zone and to have as much fun as possible, and Wild Rice was successful! She worked really hard on her swimming skills leading up to this race to be able to survive the cold ocean swim and held a pretty good line all the way to shore.

Boris Bourdin

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Overall a good race for Boris. He set up his day with a PB swim at this distance. Unfortunately a flat on the bike zapped a little bit of his race mojo, but he was able to get back into things with a solid bike split and hitting his targets. Run went well through 15k before the pace slowed over final 5k.

Steve Sgro

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Steve made a big jump in his run speed this off-season, and he moved to a power meter on the bike, so we were really excited to see what this race would show! After a full-contact swim, Steve put up some MASSIVE numbers on the bike which would normally lead to collapse in T2. But instead, he held on to take 90 seconds off his prior year sprint 5k time. Fabulous work, and a great indication of what's to come!

Kevin Hester

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Great race for Kev! Strong swim in tough conditions - great bike split and a heck of a run - 8:15 pace! Woot! The future is bright for this guy!

Chloe Nabity

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Super fun race format for Chloe with the enduro run/swim/bike/run/swim/bike/run. Lots of transitions to keep things interesting for sure! She raced hard, had a blast and even made a new friend on the course!

Casey Fleming

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Casey really stepped up and gutted it out at this race. The water temp was 50 degrees and the air was 33 degrees when the athletes were getting out of the water. The goal going into this race was to build toughness and I'm so proud of Casey for keeping her head in the game. The conditions didn't allow for as much speed as she is used to, but the strength and commitment she built in this race will go a long way towards some fast results later this season.

Michelle Friedrich

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

Michelle attempted to stay warm on a cold and rainy day by sticking with the Sprint distance and yet she still came off the bike numb from the waist down. Even with the shivering, she stuck with it on the run and logged another post-injury finish on the way to her comeback 70.3 race later this year.

Dore Berens

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Dore has been battling an injury for a while, and the cold weather provided an additional challenge, but she still shows up on race day and gets it done.

Karen Rice

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Despite some cold weather and pouring rain on the bike course, Wild Rice battled through. Although she couldn't feel her feet until mile 5 of the run, she still landed a spot on the podium.

Seth Kurtz

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Some great takeaways from today's race for Seth, especially regarding fueling in cooler weather. He set up his race with the fastest swim and bike splits in a competitive field and led through the 5k mark of the run. Unfortunately, the last 5k was a real struggle as his blood sugar levels and core temp dropped. He basically stumbled across the finish line. Paramedics were able to get his blood sugar levels and core temp back to normal ranges post race. Overall a good race and great to get back in the mix since it had been since April he has raced.

Laura Simenson

Notes from Coach Alison Freeman

What a day for Laura! Only two weeks after IM Boulder, and we weren't sure if her legs were going to have the pop needed for a good race at the Oly distance. Plus the weather was pretty horrid - cold and rainy, which is never ideal. But Laura went for it from the start and was able to put out a fantastic race! A solid swim and bike were capped with a 5k almost 3 min faster than last year's. Plus Laura hit one of her big goals: PODIUM, BABY!!!

Bud Winn

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Bud had a few changes on the bike, some decent training the past few weeks and viola (!) a great race on good fitness. Way to throw down a 19:51 run Bud! Woot. 4th place and just out of the top 3. Well done!

Scott Brooks

Notes from Coach Mike Ricci

Great race from Scott - who's to say IM athletes can't race well at short course racing! Scott polished off the race with s 19:17 5k. Way to go Scott!

Bernie Ryan

Notes from Coach Jim Hallberg

Nathan Turner

Notes from Coach Jim Hallberg

Danielle Lowry

Notes from Coach Laura Marcoux

Danielle's strategy was to hit it hard on the swim and bike, and that's exactly what she did. She missed the overall podium by only 15 seconds, but she had the fastest female swim on the day, executed her strategy perfectly, and left it all out there.

Jack Toland

Notes from Coach Brad Seng

Great race for Jack and propelled by a strong swim/bike/run combo today. Really pleased with the swim and run splits in particular. Coming off IM Santa Rosa his Achilles had been a bit bothersome so the run speed work has been limited, but he was able to push the pace and put down one of his best 10k run splits.
