Race Reports

Ironman Cozumel 2011 - Kristen Dennis
Let's just start this "race report" by saying that I've never written one before and I'm not sure I will do a good job- too detailed…not detailed enough…whatever. I know there will be a few to read it letter by letter, and a few to scroll down, pick out a few key sentences and then delete it and reply with a "Loved the report! Great job and congrats!" response. I fully accept and appreciate even the scrollers. This race was for one person. ME. And yet, I had the unconditional support and felt the enthusiasm from so many that I wanted to let you all in on my day and make as much of it yours as I can. Because anyone receiving this report had, in no small way, something to do with getting me to the finish line...

Ironman Florida 2011 - Ed McGovern
A few streaming thoughts from Saturday while fresh in my mind ... "it's 3 am and I can't sleep – just lay here, relax and think about the day ahead. Stay calm. Don't get all worked up yet. Can't help it, I'm shaking...

Might be the most fun I've had doing triathlon in a long time. St. Croix is an amazing destination, and Kona is Kona .... but this guy knows how to put on a race. And talk about getting your money's worth!

Eagleman 2010 - Beth Lamie
Hey, I'm getting better at this! I am actually 4 races behind. Just now posting the Eagleman report, but I also agonized about how to finish it. When you read the report, you'll see why I struggled to focus on the positive aspects of this race...

Hey Coach, I hope you and Mike are both doing well. Thanks again for the input on the race. Your info along with Rob Simms helped me prepare as much as I needed to the venue. Overall the event went well...

Rocky Raccoon 50 mile Trail Race, Huntsville, TX, February 6, 2010 - Beth Lamie
Why would I do it? Late last year, one of my clients from Texas, Tina Buchan told me that she felt that her training for the San Antonio Marathon was going well, and she hoped to parlay that into training for a 50 mile trail race approximately 2 months later. She had done a 50K (31 miles) race put on by the same organization, this looked to be well organized, and she needed a challenge and so her plan began. Not sure how Mike and I entered into the plan, but I usually try to get to Texas at least once a year to see Tina and my other athletes if I can, and I’ve always wanted to do an ultra, and Mike was looking for something for us to do together. It came early enough in the year, etc., so we decided to give this a shot.
Why wouldn’t I do it? So many reasons...

Ironman World Championships 2009, Kona HI - Mike Lamie
I'm writing this wondering “why would anyone want to read about my Hawaii Ironman experience?” If you are reading this, you’re the one I'm wondering about...

XTerra World Championships 2009 - David DeSantis
I love writing that title. I'm ready to go back to Maui right now! It all started the night before the race. I couldn't get to sleep so I was clicking thru the TV channels and started watching Nacho Libre, with Jack Black. It was hysterical and really helped me relax and get to sleep. I woke up at 4:30 to pee for the 3rd time that night and couldn't get back to sleep (the race didn't start until 9am to accommodate helicopters and camera crews). So I start to go thru the check list, stretch and start eating. At about 6:30 Kathy wakes up and we head to transition at 7 to set up and then back to the room after realizing I forgot my socks. Get body marked and get in line to get blessed on the beach. The helicopters arrive and cameras are everywhere. The officials are attempting to squish 550 jacked athletes into a small section of the beach and keep everyone out of the water until the cannon goes off. Finally the cannon goes off...
