Green Bay Duathlon

Submitted by Anonymous on October 16, 2011 - 8:27pm

It could not have been a more perfect day for the Green Bay Duathlon.  The race took place in the Lambeau field parking lot and started out with a 3 mile run down Oneida St. to the surrounding neighborhoods.  The next leg was a 32 mile bike along the Fox River.  The fall colors were perfect and wind was minimal throughout the bike.  The last leg was a short 1 mile run up and back along the Lambeau Field parking lot.  Dr. Tim, Scott, David, Ray and Amanda all participated in the race and had a great day. 

 

IRONMAN WISCONSIN

Submitted by Anonymous on September 8, 2011 - 9:43pm

It was a beautiful morning for Ironman Wisconsin.  As the sun rose over the lake swimmers began entering the water.  It is always such an amazing scene to see over 2500 swimmers treading water waiting for the cannon to go off.  As we stood on the top of the Monona Terrace we had a bird’s eye view.  The cannon went off, we all had chills as the swimmers began their long journey ahead.  We cheered on all the GBMS members hoping they could some way hear us between swim strokes.  All members came out of the water with some amazing times.  It was on to T1 and the bike.  We stood just next to the terrace hoping we would catch a good view of everyone coming onto the bike.  As we watched we heard a loud roar and saw the flyover that was promised.  Brought chills to us all as we remembered the significance of the date and the events that happened only 10 years before.  Just after the jets fly over we saw Lee, Mike, Travis, Eric, Chris and Ray, cheering them on as they went out on their 112 mile bike adventure.  We tried to catch the guys at the halfway point in Verona to cheer them to the second loop of their bike course.  They all looked strong as we headed back to Madison to catch the run.  The sun was out and it was a hot afternoon.  We tried to keep a smile on everyone’s face as we rang our cow bells and cheered them on to the finish.  It was an awesome day and all at GBMS are so proud of Lee, Travis, Mike, Chris and Ray who are all an IRONMAN!!

 

Cloverleaf Lakes Triathlon

Submitted by Anonymous on September 3, 2011 - 6:05pm

If you woke up to pouring rain at 6a.m. doing a race may not have sounded like the best idea.  Tricia, Kristin, Scott and Chad all braved the storms and showed up to Cloverleaf Lakes to set up and prepare for their last tri of the season.  The rain cleared out just in time for the start of the swim.  Tricia and Kristin started in wave 1 followed by Chad and Scott.  The swim was warm but a bit weedy as Tricia found herself pulling at weeds to propel herself forward at times.  They all came out of the water to their own wetsuit stripper (aka Brian B) and headed up to transition.  The bike course was a bit hilly but GBMS represented well as they came in strong in the first group of those to return.  The run was a scenic route around the lake.  Tricia took the women’s division with a first place finish overall, Kristin placed 3rd in her age group, Scott placed 1st in his age group and Chad also placed first in his age group.   Hardware all around for GBMS! Way to go!!! 

 

Cloverleaf is a small race but well run, mile markers at each mile on the bike and the run course, awesome volunteers and stellar after race buffet complete with summer sausage and cheese curds.  The money from this race went to a great cause.  $5 from each entry went to help pay medical bills for a child whom has a rare form of cancer from the Clintonville area.  When the DJ announced the check was for $975 and they were shy of $25 to make the $1000 goal it was heartwarming to see several members of our team walk up to the family with cash in hand to donate to the cause.

 

 

Manitowoc Triathlon, Xterra Triathlon, Edge the Ledge

Submitted by Anonymous on August 31, 2011 - 9:14pm

Sheila, Chris W. and Pat all participated in the Manitowoc Triathlon on Saturday.  The lake was a chilly 57 degrees, bike was flat and fast and the run is a beautiful 3 miles lakeside.  Sheila had a great race, Pat took 3rd in his age group and Chris took 1st. 

 

Brian M. participated in the Xterra triathlon in Sheboygan this past Saturday.  The mountain bike trails left him with a little bloody shin but it was worth it for the 2nd place age group finish.

 

David and Dr. Tim participated in Edge the Ledge, a new adventure race in Fon du Lac.  They had a great time jumping over obstacles and running through streams.  A new challenge that added to their races this summer.
