2009 Season Under Way

The 2009 Triathlon season official got under way this past weekend with five MTC athletes competing in events that stretched from one (southern) coast to the other.
Pictured above are John O. (l) & Jason (r) (along with some guy in the middle named Dave who had never heard of their coach...) who, along with Mike K. raced the Nautica South Beach Triathlon in Miami, FL. John did really well at his first "big time" race while Jason finished second in his Age Group, missing the win by only a few seconds. Mike K also did great, completing his first triathlon in many years.



Bianca & Rob S. were way over on the other coast in Oceanside, CA. The water was colder but the day was beautiful for their first ever "Half" at California 70.3. They both dealt with numerous challenges but put in great first time efforts.


Finally, Sandy C. (pictured in the MTC shirt with some training buddies) also raced this weekend at the New Orleans 70.3. Putting in a great swim and his strongest bike performance in years, Sandy is pleased with his progress so far and is fired up for his "A" race - Kansas 70.3 on June 14th.
