Rock/Creek Race Team Fall Update
August has been a good month among our broad age group of sponsored Rock/Creek Race Team Members.
Starting with August 8th, our youngest race team member, Johanna Gartman, competed at the Junior Elite National Championships in Colorado Springs, CO with a 750m swim, 20k bike ride and 5k run for a 4th place finish in the Junior Elite female age group 16-19 years old. She finished in 1:07:49.0. Here's a picture of Johanna #88 tearing it up on the bike.
The second major accomplishment by our Race Team: Matt Sims and Sheridan Ames' great accomplishment of fifth place overall for the 80+ Men age group at the Gore-Tex TransRockies Run. This 6-day stage race took place between Buena Vista and Beaver Creek, CO from August 23-28th and provided beautiful weather for Sims and Ames to finish with a total time of 20:38:00. Full race coverage of the Gore-Tex TransRockies Run 2009 can be found at http://transrockies.com/transrockiesrun/news/ including videos, pictures and full results. Matt came into the office yesterday to share a few photos and stories. He's promised to write a race report, so we'll post that when we get it as well.
Thank you to Johanna, Matt and Sheridan for carrying the Rock/Creek Race Team name well, and showing the world what you are made of.
It has been a tremendous inspiration to see all age groups excel with their talents and passions for triathlons, trail running and some friendly competition.
Keep it up Rock/Creek Race Team!
