Have a great weekend everyone!

Buster Britton Triathlon – Alabama

Yes, we have race results!

We are fortunate to coach athletes from around the country, and in certain places, they are actually holding races!

Three of our athletes–DJ McCabe, Kemp Conrad, and Ed Wallis— raced the BUSTER BRITTON TRIATHLON in Alabama. This race holds a special place in our hearts as Anne raced here waaaaaay back in 1990 when we were stationed in Pensacola, FL, for flight school. Yikes! Fastest 30 years ever!

Anyhow, our athletes had some great performances:

DJ McCabe – 1:04 – 5th in AG

Kemp Conrad – 1:06 – 2nd in AG

Ed Wallis – 1:13 – 10th in AG

All three will be racing the New Roads ½ IM in LA in Sep. Nice job guys!!

Swimming in Greece

Dan Muzich took lessons from me so he could swim from his boat. Before, he could only make it the length of the boat. Now, he swims a mile. He just sent these photos from Greece. No, not jealous AT ALL.

Flip Flops 50K – Ohio

We’d like to congratulate Frank Smith who kept his monthly marathon streak alive by completing the Flip Flops 50K this past weekend in Ohio. Frank finished the 50K in 7:14 under hot and humid conditions. Nice job Frank!

8-hour Dream Endurance Run, Indianapolis

The 8-hour Dream Endurance run was held last weekend. This was an actual, live, in-person ultra-race held in Indianapolis, IN. This race was done on a looped course and the goal was to complete as many miles as you could within 8 hours. Frank Smith took on the race and completed 31.1 miles. This was good enough for 3rd in his AG! Nice job Frank!

Since we don’t have a photo from Frank’s race, I added one of our son climbing in Flagstaff. 🙂

Enjoy the monsoon weather this weekend!

Guntersville, AL Sprint Tri

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Believe it or not, triathlons are actually being held in the US! The Guntersville, AL Sprint Tri was held this past weekend and Ed Wallis raced it. It was Ed’s very first tri and he finished in a super time of 1:34. Nice job Ed! (The photo is from this morning’s hike in McDowell Mountain Regional Park).
