TriKirk Athlete shout-out

We've had a lot of athletes in action racing their "A" race of the year over the past several weeks and this post is devoted to those athletes.  I swear I get just as excited race weekend COACHING these athletes as they do RACING the event!

Ursula Bowling -- IM Lake Placid.  Not far off her IM PR-time, but probably her strongest/best IM effort on this tough course! -- 14:40

Jake Cooley -- IM 70.3 World Championships @ Las Vegas.  Solid day for Jake in just his second season of racing!  5:00:26

Laura Coyle -- Boulder Divas Sprint Triathlon and Oktoberfest Sprint Triathlon -- 1:31:12

Chris Wolff -- Seattle Triathlon. Between Sprint/Olympic Distance.  18th Overall -- 1:13

Derek Garcia -- Coeur d'Alene Olympic Triathlon -- 1st Overall and 3rd overall win of the season.  Upper Northwest Region Sprint/Olympic 2011 Champion!

Matt Tigchelaar -- IM Canada.  First-Ever Ironman, solid finish on a hot day! -- 10:43:56 

Andy Bohart -- Big Kahuna Half Iron.  First-Ever Half Iron.  2nd Clydesdale and super fast time of 5:18:43!

So proud of you guys!  Most of our athletes are done racing for the 2011 season, with the exception of Derek racing Kona October 8 for the 2nd consecutive year.
