Six women and one man from Chico went down to Newport Beach this last weekend to qualify for the World Sprint Championships in Australia and they ALL qualified!!! So what that means is 13 of us from Chico who train with the Women's Triathlon Club under coach Preben (from Chico Sports Club) will be competing in Australia in September. It is very exciting. I have been feeling so apprehensive about my physical condition and my desire to compete that I have lost a bit of enthusiasm along the way. The team called me right away from the race and gave me the news. I was so touched that they let me know right away. It gave me such a lift to know that all of these people kicked butt and we are all going!!
So here are the athletes and their results from the Pacific Coast Sprint Triathlon:
Joanne Gilchrest 35-39 11th 1:05:18
Reene Fiack 45-49 11th 1:10:16
Sue Kamrar 45-49 13th 1:10:21
Kim Agur 55-59 2nd 1:11:13
Anne Yates 55-59 1:18:48
Darlene Henderson 55-59 1:20:49
Bill Brent 55-59 6th 1:03:05
Nice job everyone....seriously you gave me the juice I needed to dig into my training!!
Next weekend is Barb's Race in Santa Rosa along with the Vineman Ironman....several of the athletes will be competing here including Jeanne O' Regan doing her first Ironman.
