May 14, 2012Welcome Team Arizona
When you're 53 years old and still kicking' butt on the race course, we can take the liberty of calling you a "matriarch", and that's just what we are going to do for Janie White, who lives in Paradise Valley and was the overall women's winner Sunday at Tempe International Triathlon. As such, she earns the title of Best of the U.S. State Champion and the right to lead Team Arizona at the National Championship next spring. First across the line for men was Elliott Lewis, who is a pro and therefore exempt from BOUS. But less than a minute behind him was young (26) Brian Folts from Phoenix, with Arrick Nietert hot on his heels. MEN Brian Folts, 26, Phoenix Arrick Nietert, 31, Tolleson Stephen Stromberg, 38, Phoenix WOMEN Janie White, 53, Parsdise Valley Sherianne Nelson, 37, Scottsdale Jeanine Cordova, 32, Phoenix -
May 08, 2012"It's a terrifying thing to see a bus wheel on top of you."
On April 21, personal trainer/coach Chelsea Duran, 29, was the third place Nevada finisher at RAGE Triathlon at Lake Mead, Nevada, thereby qualifying to race at the Best of the U.S. National Championship. That is her bike helmet underneath the school bus, and this is her story:
I started in triathlon almost 3 years ago. A client of mine came to me asking to be trained for a triathlon. I had been a cross country runner for a long time and had swum and cycled most of my life, but I had never done a triathlon. I figured the best way to train her for it, was to do one myself so I could give her first hand experience. -
May 02, 2012TriStuds: The Men of Minnesota Rock the Weekend
Okay, we'll try to make this clear: Last summer at Minnesota Qualifier Lake Waconia Triathlon, the top three men were Dan Hedgecock, Patrick Parish and Matt Payne. Understatement alert: these guys are good. Their legs may be fish-belly white, but you only know it when they aren't racing, because when they are, their limbs are a blur. Matt had previously represented MN at the 2010 Championship and hit the podium in third place.
