PTRR, Chattanooga, Portland, Xterra & Bike racing…oh my!

Another weekend has come and gone and that means more personal records and hardware for the TeamEC crew.  But more importantly, a good time under the Endurance Concepts tent was had.


For most, the 4th of July is for grilling out.  To 21 of our athletes it means burning up the road from Lenox Mall to Piedmont Park for the 2011 AJC Peachtree Road Race 10K.

Ryan Brooks debuted his Cat 4 status at the GA Road Race Championships.  Nice work cat-ing up!  14th with a 24+ mph average.  That’s haulin.

Just outside of Louisville six brave souls battled the heat and hills of the longish Cardinal Harbor HIM.  Since that wasn’t enough for them, they also rode 2 loops of the IM KY course the next day.

Sunday came and Endurance Concepts was just getting warmed up.  Chattanooga was the new target.  It was hot, it was humid, it was hilly, but there were no excuses; just heart at the Waterfront Triathlon.

Rev3 Portland was the final stop on the TeamEC race weekend.  Cool temperatures and a great race atmosphere caused our athletes to excel even more than normal.  Mental and physical hurdles were not match for them.

Up in Canada, at the 2011 PATCO Triathlon Junior Pan American Championships, Devon Dabney was one of only 16 Juniors to be chosen to represent the United States.  While an unfortunate crash took her out of contention, she still had a strong showing.  Great job and there are many more great races and opportunities ahead for you.

Coach Dan decided it would be a good idea to see if he could be a weekend warrior for Xterra Whitewater.  Saturday started with an 8.25-mile trail run and Sunday brought the Xterra race.  He managed second in the overall weekend warrior competition and a 2nd AG in the trail run and a 3rd AG in the Xterra.  Results
