Pacific Coast Triathlon

Leaving the heat of Windsor, CA we headed down to Newport Beach for the sprint national championships. There were a lot of excited people that wanted to race well and make it to the sprint world national championships in Australia. Darren from Blue Competition Cycles came out to help despite taking a fall recently. He even brought a  Ryno.
This is Erica Davis. Check out her story here. I can't say anything because she is so inspirational.

Vineman 70.3

The famous Vineman70.3 race did not disappoint. The big names were there. Craig Alexander, Joe Gambles, Chris Lieto (at the expo), and Conrad Stotlz was helping out at the Avia booth. Joe Gambles set a new course record before the heat got too strong. It was a hot day, but everyone had a great time.

Boulder Peak

Before 5430 Sports switches over to Ironman, it was great to experience the Boulder Peak Triathlon in its original form. With amazing athletes and fantastic spectators, this is a race that lives up to its reputation.

Hy-Vee Triathlon.

This is what triathlon needs. A fun filled and excitement packed weekend. First was the kids race on Saturday morning. Hundreds of happy kids went splashing into the water and eventually sprinting across the finish line. Blackhawk helicopters, Clydesdale horses, and lots of vendors were very appealing to everyone that was at the event. Shawn Johnson was also very popular. Later that day, Emma Moffatt ran away with a win and $200,000! American Sara McCarty had huge lead coming out of the water and led on the bike for 5 of the 8 laps. The crowds were very enthusiastic as McCarty would come flying through the grandstands every lap. Eventually, the other women caught her and Emma Moffatt and Andrea Hewitt took off running together. Moffatt pulled away and never looked back. It was a great race.
For the men, the finish is something that wil be talked baout for a long time. Check out all the race action at triathlon.org. More pictures to come soon.
