Showdown at Sundown 2010

Here are some pics, highlights and standings from the Showdown at Sundown at Lake Las Vegas. This race offered Sprint, Olympic and Half Iron distances. We had club members participating in the Olympic and the Half Iron. The day was SUPER windy and SUPER fun!

Breanna Nelson took 1st place Overall Female in the Olympic distance with a time of 2:32:08! Way to go Breanna!

Jason Wells put in a great race with a total Half Iron distance time of 5:45:58. Here he is still smiling on the bike!

Matt Bracken placed 3rd in his age group with a total Half Iron time of 5:18:59. Don't forget to support Matt in his St. George Ironman fundraising competition, raising funds for Limbs for Haiti.

And lastly, I managed to grab 1st place in my age group with a total time of 5:53:35. My husband was able to get some great swim shots from the spectator-friendly shoreline.

Good Times!

All right! So as promised, I am finally highlighting and posting some pictures of tri club members and the events in which we participate! If you have a highlight (like a PR or first tri or placing in an age group, or anything else), send me your story and your pics, and I will publish at least 1 per month. For now, you have to sit tight with what I have available so far! Enjoy!

TT Bike or Road bike for the St. George Ironman?

Hello!

We have a tri club member wondering whether it would be better to ride a Tri bike or a Road Bike for the St. George Ironman. This is not the first time I've heard this question. The hills in this race course are making many triathletes think twice! Please leave a comment with your opinion and/or answer the poll! Thanks!

Cedar City workouts

Hello all!

I am posting this as an open discussion for all Cedar City tri club members. I'm wondering if anyone up there would be willing to lead a regular swim and/or run workout? Do the members up there want to have a regular schedule such as we are trying to organize for St. George? Of course, all members are always welcome at any workout, but local workouts may be easier to attend. Leave comments with your thoughts, and anyone willing to volunteer, let me know! Thanks!

I will try to incorporate suggestions into our operations, while maintaining the fun, all-inclusive spirit that the Southern Utah Triathlon Club is known for!
