10/5 Longhorn 70.3 (TX) Daniel and Kevin both raced on this grueling course. A stacked field made for a hard day! Daniel
swam and biked with the front groups, then laid down a fast run to finish 6th pro and 2nd American. Kevin had a tough day
recovering from a bike crash, but still finished 15th out of 26 pro's. Good preparation for his upcoming assault on Ironman Florida!

11/1 Ironman Florida (FL) Kevin tackled this late season Ironman with 48 pro's, offering up some huge international competition.
After a stellar swim at the front, he came out in a world class 3rd overall. Still suffering the effects from a previous bike crash, he
wasn't thrilled with his bike overall. He hung tough though and still put up a 3:10 marathon to finish 20th of 48 international pro's,
and 3rd American! Great experience too as he works toward learning all the tricks to longer distance racing. Overall Kevin has had
an incredible breakout season, and looking forward to a nice rest before next year!

11/8 Clearwater 70.3 World Championships (FL) Daniel raced in his first world championship half ironman, with over 50 top pro's
from about 20 countries! Not really knowing what to expect Daniel was pretty pleased with his race. A solid swim and bike followed
by a 1:16 run moved him into 19th place overall, and 4th American. Of note, after almost 4 hours of racing he just barely missed
being 2nd American by 20 seconds......that's how competitive this race was! Congrats to Daniel on a truly phenomenal year,
especially considering it was his first pro season and he's already up there with the best of the best!

3/15 Miami International (FL) Greg had an unlucky start to the season.....first really sick during the Desert Classic Du in AZ, then
missed a buoy in the Miami swim and had to go back out and around it. But still two top 10 pro finishes none the less, and some
great training for a long season ahead!

4/4 California 70.3 (CA) / New Orleans 70.3 (LA) Sort of a tough first half Ironman all around. Kevin (24th pro) and Greg (18th
pro) raced Cali, while David (22nd pro) and Chris (24th pro) raced New Orleans. At this early point in the season there's not many
big races, so the pro fields in these two were stacked! I think everyone had a tough first big outing.....but that's important to get back
into the feel of racing, pacing strategy, nutrition strategy, and adapting to the sweet new equipment. Also a great way to help race
your way into shape for the long upcoming season!

4/19 Powerman Alabama (AL) Congrats to Dereck on a huge 2nd overall at the 2009 Elite Duathlon National Championship!
As a former Olympic trials runner Dereck lead out the first 8k run, hung tough on the 55k bike even though he had to ride a flat tire
the last mile or so, and finished with another solid 8k run. A great early season race for Dereck!

5/2 Wildflower half (CA) Greg had a solid 15th place finish in this very tough half ironman, with a huge international field of 56
pro's! This is a hugely popular race that's another must-do. Great for Greg as he continues to build form going into the summer
race season. Chris raced too but unfortunately had to DNF after cutting his foot open coming out of the swim transition.

5/17 Memphis in May tri (TN) Ryan, Nick, Dave, and Dereck raced in this early season classic finishing 10/11/13/15 respectively
in the pro field. Super windy conditions made for one crazy day and not really the results we were hoping for. But had a blast as
a team and figured out what we need to work on most!

great race and hope to have more guys there in the future.

5/17 Florida 70.3 (FL) Mike had a solid finish in his first big race of the season, finishing 12th out of 34 international pro's. In
fact, no American even finished in the top 7 so that shows how tough this race is! Great result though, especially for a guy who
lives in Maine and racing in Florida! Mike is always a strong cyclist, and uses his fast run to pick off people late in the race.

5/22-24 American Triple-T (OH) Well this is one crazy race, and USPro Tri had some great results! This race consists of a sprint
tri on Fri, an olympic on Sat morning, another olympic Sat night, and a half ironman on Sunday. Not only that, but it's super hilly
and pacing strategy is critical. John took 2nd overall in the solo division, which was huge especially considering he has been
dealing with a running injury. Kevin and Ryan took 1st overall in the team division, balancing each other's abilities to post the
fastest possible time. All three had a great time and also provided super training for the summer months!

5/24 Austin Pan Am Cup (TX) Dave had a solid finish at 18th of 38 pro's in this big Pan Am Cup field of top North and South
American athletes. He stayed with the front groups on the swim and bike, with a strong run to top it off. Chris competed too but
had a flat tire, which in draft-legal racing there's no time to recover from.

5/30 Terre Haute tri (IN) Nick had a great race to prove he is getting back to 100% form! He stayed with another big pro
throughout the swim and bike, only losing a little ground on the run. However, running is his strength, so that shows he'll be in
excellent form once his foot is completely healed soon!

6/7 Mooseman tri (NH) Dereck decided to jump in this race to divide and conquer while some of us were at Rev 3. Good thing
too because he finished 2nd overall! A good swim for him set up one of his best bikes ever, then of course followed that up with
his usual smashing run of 1:10 (which by the way is faster than probably any pro in the US can run)!

6/7 Rev 3 tri (CT) This race was a new venue on the pro calendar, and came out with guns blazing! Offering one of the largest
prize purses in the country, they certainly didn't disappoint. Although I don't think any of us realized just how insanely hard this
hilly course was! Mike, Ryan, and John finished 9th / 11th / 12th in this stacked field of international athletes, and John won the
swim prime. Overall a great race for us against some heavy hitters.

6/14 Eagleman 70.3 half (MD) A great weekend for us at one of the premier classic races in the US! A top 10 finish for the
entire team was a stellar result especially in this competitive field........with Mike, Kevin, John, and Ryan at 4th / 7th / 9th / 10th.
John again set the pace by winning the swim prime. Perfectly overcast skies allowed for cool conditions and fast times. Couldn't
be happier with the way our team performed today!

Both also excelled particularly on the swim/run portions.

Greg had spectacular races finishing 3rd/4th. Then came Nick and Chris in 12th/13th, followed by David, Dereck, and Ryan in
16th/17th/18th. Interesting race too with great scenery.....river swim downstream, very technically demanding bike course, and a
pretty flat run course. Looked awesome for us as nearly half the pro field were wearing the same outfits, same bikes, etc! Also of
note, John had the fastest swim split and Dereck had the fastest run split.

15 miles they were in the lead and never looked back. Heavy rains made the race a little more challenging but kept it cool out.

7/26 Ironman Lake Placid (NY) Mike decided to tackle his first Ironman ever, and ended up with a spectacular 4th overall and
1st American! Excellent result regardless, but especially for a first time Ironman race! Mike stayed fairly close to the front in the
swim, had a solid bike to come into T2 in 6th place, then ripped off a 2:56 marathon to move up into 4th. Finished in 8:59 which
is very fast particularly on this tough course!

8/1 Steelhead 70.3 (MI) 70.3 races are always loaded, and this was the first year this particular race had a big prize purse. One
of the great benefits of having a big team is that you're more likely to get great results! Lake Michigan looked just like the ocean
with some nice waves and swells, and a beach transition area. Greg and Nick had spectacular races finishing 4th and 6th, while
Ryan and John hung tough on a hard day to finish 13th and 14th. Also of note....John had the fastest swim, and Greg qualified for
the 70.3 World Championships!

8/9 Spirit of Morgantown half (WV) This year Morgantown happened to have a smaller pro field, and we took full advantage by
bringing five guys! This course features a big river swim into some major current, a hilly and technical bike, and a flat and fast
(but hot and humid) run. John had a big lead out of the water, so everyone had to try and chase him down. John, Nick, Kevin,
and Dereck all turned in similar fast bike splits, bringing it down to a running show. Nick pulled in to front midway through the run
and held it all the way to the line for his first major win! Kevin held on for 2nd close behind, Dereck ran up to 3rd for probably his
best result of the year, and John hung strong for 4th. Ryan damaged part of his bike on the rough course but jogged in for 6th pro.

the bike, but recovered to have solid run and represent us on the west coast! The next weekend he also raced the Kelowna Pan

It was tough as you can imagine by racing so soon after an ironman and injured, but Mike is always fast anyway and finished 8th
pro! John just barely got pipped in the swim, but held on for a solid 13th.

every year. This course is very flat and fast, but the addition of a strong wind made for a challenging bike course on Lake Shore
Drive. Greg, Nick, and Chris finished 14th/20th/24th which wasn’t too bad considering the competition.

9/27 Augusta 70.3 (GA) Augusta is one of the newer races on the 70.3 circuit, but had huge competition right off the bat.
Nick and Dave came out of the shortened swim with the leading groups. Mike came out of the water shortly behind, and
immediately went to work crushing the bike. Dave had a tough bike but recovered to have a solid run and finish 21st. Mike has
been struggling with a running injury, but with his running background he's always tough and finished 14th. Nick had a very solid
bike and finished that off with a blazing 1:16 half marathon, which put him in 9th! Considering the competition that's a great
race!

11/29 Ironman Cozumel (Mex) John decided to do a late season Ironman, and a neat vacation. As usual he stomped
everyone out of the water by a minute and a half. He stayed tough on the super windy bike and run to place 16th pro, and 3rd
American. He also received plenty of free lunch via IV fluids afterward to zap him back to life. Tough stuff!

2/28 Desert Classic Du (AZ) Ryan G got in a great early season result at this classic duathlon race. Unfortunately for him the
weather was cold and rainy, but at least no snow. Against some top tier competition he was 4th pro, and had a great prep for the
upcoming Duathlon Nationals at Powerman Alabama!

3/28 Powerman Alabaman Elite National Duathlon Championship (AL) Ryan G raced another big early season duathlon.
Unfortunately he was pretty sick leading up to and during the race, so didn't quite finish where he wanted. But still 10th at the
Duathlon National Championships isn't bad! Couple that with an improved swim and he'll be ready to rock tri season.

4/17 Hagerstown Duathlon (PA) Paul picked up his first win of the season at a local duathlon. Great prep for the May tri's!
4/17 Belew's Lake Tri (NC) Rich also picked up his first win of the season today at a local tri. It was his first chance to test the
rehab he's been doing from a running injury, and since he won it seems to be going well!

3/14 Miami International Tri (FL) John and Zach both hopped in this race to test the early season fitness. Since it's one of the
few tri's this early in the year, the pro field is always top notch. Both had a solid day all around and finished 16th and 19th.

5/9 Rev3 olympic (TN) Well this was one heck of a competitive race right in the early part of the season! At least 34 pro men
were signed up including a World Champion, an Ironman Champion, an Olympian, and guys from at least 5 different countries.
Probably not the best race results for us, but considering the incredible international field there not too bad either. We had a
great time as a group and Ryan showed off our gear at the expo booth all weekend. It was a cold river swim, hilly and technical
bike, follow by a hilly run. Greg was our top guy in 19th, followed only a few meters back by Kevin in 20th. Rich was having a
great race and right with them, but just coming back from a running injury forced him to walk most of the run. All in all a great
weekend though and good team exposure, and looking forward to a great season ahead!

5/1 Wildflower Tri half (CA) Greg was our lone man on the west coast this weekend, competing in what is regularly probably
the most competitive race of the early season. Wildflower always attracts a top tier international field. It was also one heck of a
way for Greg to start out the season.....not only was it a half ironman, but also a very hilly and tough race! He finished 20th out of
38 pro's, showing great form for the season ahead!

5/15 Muncie double du (IN) Zach got in his first win of the season today at the Muncie duathlon, racing the double distance
of 10k/40k/10k. Great prep for Zach and a win in his home town is always nice!

5/21-23 American Triple-T tri (OH) John Kenny was our lone man this year, and he was back to take a commanding win and
vengeance for his near win last year! This is a 3-day 4-race (sprint/olympic/olympic/half ironman) weekend that demands a ton of
strategy and endurance. Likewise the course is extremely demanding. John paced himself very well over the weekend, and won
ALL FOUR races!

5/16 Florida Ironman 70.3 (FL) This race may be at Disney World, but it's no walk in the park! The weather is almost always
stifling hot, especially for the guys just coming out of the winter up north. Ryan G and Paul both raced, finishing a solid 16th and
18th in this big pro field.

5/23 Columbia tri (MD) Greg and Mike both raced at this olympic distance classic. This race features a hilly bike and run so a
tough course, and typically a tough pro field. Greg finished in 9th with Mike hot on his heals in 10th to get us two top 10 finishes!

the sport. He battled stifling heat on a day that forced many seasoned pro's to walk, and finished a very solid 8th pro!

difficult bike. He stayed close to the lead throughout the swim and bike, taking over for good on the run to bring home the win!

6/13 Eagleman Ironman 70.3 (MD) Mike and Paul raced this east coast classic, along with the usual very competitive 70.3
professional fields. This course is very flat, but can easily be very windy and hot. Most of the pro field had very slow run splits due
to the heat. But Mike and Paul had great races finishing 8th and 12th respectively!

6/6 Rev3 half ironman (CT) John, Greg, and Mike made the brave choice to compete in this highly competitive race to help
support our team! With one of the richest purses in the sport, it inevitably attracts a field of top tier athletes. This race features a
very smooth swim, followed by a hilly bike and run. John represented us well by finishing first in the swim, beating world
champion and Olympians in his specialty, and eventually finishing a solid 14th. Greg was well positioned out of the swim but
suffered back problems on the bike, but still finished with a strong run. Mike had to pull out with a calf injury, wanting to save it for
next weekend. Overall a great weekend and Ryan had fun showing off our gear at the expo all weekend

win! Great prep for bigger races this year.

6/13 Muncie duathlon (IN) Nick really showed some class toughing it out for this regional race. A couple weeks ago he broke
his collarbone in a bike crash. So a duathlon it is! Nick led from start to finish, with the fastest splits for the bike and both runs to
get us a much deserved win, and hopefully quick recovery!

6/27 Philly Tri (PA) Philly is often a big race for us, since it is centrally located for much of our team and a very competitive
race. John, Rich, Paul, and Greg raced while Ryan had the booth setup all weekend. Unfortunately this race was turned in to a
duathlon due to a tragic drowning accident, so we really were not sure how the day would play out. This would also be
particularly tough with two Olympic medalists in the field! Likewise it was insanely hot and humid. The guys really took it in stride
though, and surprisingly it was our super swimmer John Kenny who posted the best finish for us in 5th place right behind Olympian
Matt Reed! Rich is a great runner and had a very good day to finish 8th, and now that he's just back from a running injury that
should only get better. Greg and Paul finished very close to each other in 11th and 12th, resulting in our entire team finishing in
the front half of the pro field! Great weekend for us.

6/19 Johan's Trifest (MI) Rich went back to his home state for this regional olympic distance race. He led from start to finish,
including the fastest swim and bike splits. More importantly it was his first solid run back from injury!

7/3 Happy Valley tri (PA) Paul helped organize and raced this regional event, took the lead on the bike and had a nice win!
7/31 Steelhead Ironman 70.3 (MI) We had a very solid turnout at this beautiful race on Lake Michigan. Zach, Nick, Kevin,
and Ryan G all raced while Ryan B was on hand for support duty. With the usual high turnout of 19 pro's and a lot of international
competition, many packs formed throughout the race. Zach was our top man in 7th place, followed by Nick in 10th, Kevin in
14th, and Ryan G in 15th. Overall a great race for us especially with two guys in the top ten and a great team presence!

7/18 Racine Ironman 70.3 (WI) Zach and Ryan G both raced this midwest classic turned 70.3 event. Zach had a great swim,
struggled a bit on the bike, but came around with a solid run to finish 6th pro in this big international field of 18 pro's! Ryan G had
mechanical troubles on the bike but still managed to place well with 12th pro!

5th place pro finish, especially with it being his first triathlon back from a broken collarbone!
