Total Intensity Athletes Take on IM Arizona!
November 24, 2009

A total of seven Total Intensity Sports athletes took on the Ironman in Tempe this past weekend.  Led by Team Intensity's Tom Murphy, who set a personal best at the Ironman distance with a finishing time of 10.40.46.  His race was solid all day - a 1.15 swim, 5.11 bike averaging 21.6 mph and a 4.06 marathon. 

Tom was joined at the finish by Kirsten Van Tuyl, 12.15.52 (IM personal best), Cary Keaten, 13.35.09 (IM personal best), Bernie Dooley, 16.12.53, and Lajra Williams 16.46.33.  Also racing in Tempe were first-time Ironman finishers Steve Chan, 12.46.02, and Melissa Hanas, 13.44.40.

Some of the more notable highlights of the race included a very strong marathon run by Steve Chan who wrapped up his first Ironman by completing the 26.2 mile run in 4.07 and averaged 8 minute miles over the final 10K.

In the true spirit of the Ironman, a very stubborn and determined Lajra Williams overcame some demons to make it to her second Ironman finish line.  Lajra exited the water with a bout of hypothermia and needed to spend extra time in the first transition to get her body temperature back up.  Once on her bike, she had stomach issues and while on the run, she experienced nausea for a considerable amount of the marathon.  She battled the desire to quit, continued moving forward and fought the clock as the midnight cut-off neared.  Despite all of the various complications, Lajra managed to make it to the finish line within 15 minutes of the 17 hour deadline.  Cheered on by her teammates, it was an inspirational end to a great day.

Congratulations to all of our Ironman finishers!  Awesome job!

Hull Crushes IM PR in Florida!
November 9, 2009

Racing in her fourth Ironman, Kelly Hull had her best Ironman yet this past weekend in Florida.  Swim conditions were not favorable - lots of swells in the Gulf of Mexico, and the wind made the 112 mile bike even more challenging, but Kelly raced strong throughout. 

Her 1.34 swim was 5 minutes faster than her swim earlier this year in Coeur d'Alene, her bike (6.41) was over an hour faster than any other IM bike she has completed while her run (5.12) was almost 50 minutes faster than her IM run PR.  All together, her time of 13.44.42 was almost two full hours faster than her previous IM best time!!

Awesome job Kelly!!!

 

Reynolds Reaches Podium at Pacific Grove!
September 14, 2009

Total Intensity's Steve Reynolds set a course personal best in tough racing conditions and placed third in his age group - improving from his 5th place age group finish in 2008.  Steve had a solid day all around, finishing in 2.36.15.  John McIntosh and Kelly Hull also raced very well - both placing in the top 20 of their age groups.  John finished in 2.42.35, good enough for 17th, while Kelly set a course personal best with a time of 3.12.14 and finished 15th in her age group!

Way to go guys!!

Young Wins Eppie's!  Vineman 70.3 Results
July 20, 2009

After placing third in her age division in 2007 and second in her division last year, Team Intensity's Nicole Young not only captured the top spot in her age group, but she was fastest in the entire women's field at the Eppie's Great Race this past weekend.  Nicole's time of 1.59.33 put her as the only woman to go under 2 hours and was over 2 minutes faster than her nearest competitor.  Nicole's time was also a personal best by over 8 minutes.  Nicole raced extremely strong in all three legs of the race, taking over the lead for good on the bike and securing the win on the kayak to take the win.  Awesome job Nicole!!

Also competing at Eppie's were Nancy Templeton, Jake Weir and Heidi Mills.  Nancy's relay team took second place in the 40+ Women's Relay division with a time of 1.57.26.  Jake and Heidi also had strong races and finished with a times of 2.12.03 and 2.58.05, respectively.

Meanwhile, at the Vineman 70.3 in Santa Rosa, Team Intensity's Jon Klingensmith and Holly Olmsted raced extremely well and posted times of 4.38.42 and 5.07.38.  Jon's race was highlighted by a very strong run, 1.31.36, and helped him place 12th in his age group of 330.  Holly also had a great run, setting a personal best in the half marathon (including pure running events) with her time of 1.44.28.  Holly's efforts placed her 10th in her age group.  Also racing at Vineman were Cary Keaten, 5.51.30 (personal best) and Jon Fong, 5.55.34, who had to deal with bad blisters during the run.  Great job everyone!

In Wisconsin, Team Intensity's Tom Murphy took 7th in his age group at the Door County Half Ironman with a time of 5.01.50.  Tom has been hampered by an ankle injury this season, but still ran the half marathon in 1.45.42 after averaging over 22mph on the bike.  Nice work Tom!

Finally, in the Donner Triathlon in Truckee on Sunday, Team Intensity's Steve Reynolds placed third in his age group with a strong time of 3.04.40 while Janey Shugart completed the event with a time of 4.00.29.  Way to go guys!

Earlier this month, at the July Tri-for-Fun, Team Intensity's Nancy Templeton came back from a long lay-off due to an injury to race very hard - posting a sub 1:30, placing top ten overall and winning her age group.  Also racing that weekend at Rancho Seco was John McIntosh, who set a personal best time of 2.29.12 and placed 6th in his age group in the Tri-for-Real and Colleen McCarthy, 1.39.45, 8th place age group, in the Tri-for-Fun.

We also want to recognize Ironman finisher Kelly Hull - Kelly toughed it out in some really bad weather at Coeur d'Alene last month.  She completed the 140.6 distance in 16.24.32 - weather was not exactly ideal - cold temperatures and rain made it particularly tough on everyone.  Congrats on ANOTHER Ironman Kelly!

Great job everyone!!

Wildflower Results!
May 4, 2009

Total Intensity Sports athletes were out in force this past weekend at Lake San Antonio - racing at both the long course and olympic distance events.  Racing in the half Ironman on Saturday included Holly Olmsted, who had a solid bike split of 3.08.11 (8th in her age group) and placed 17th in her age group with a time of 5.55.37 - more than 15 minutes faster than her time from 2008.  Brooks Cutter (6.10.25), Jon Fong (6.10.41), Cary Keaten (6.23.09), Jon Rauer (7.06.03), Kelly Hull (7.28.55) and Kim Knott all took on the long course for the first time and had solid days.

On Sunday, Team Intensity's Michael Klingman came back from an early season injury that kept his training to a minimum, especially running, until the last month or so.  Even with reduced training, Michael raced extremely well - going a minute faster than he did in 2008, finishing in a time of 2.33.59.  Also setting a PR was Team Intensity's Steve Reynolds.  Steve raced extremely hard, literally collapsing within yards of the finish line, but made it across the finish line 3 minutes faster than 2008 and 7th in his age group.  Steve's swim split was 4th fastest in his age group while his bike split was 6th fastest.  Team Intensity's Mike French also bested his time from 2008 by over 4 minutes with a time of 2.42.34. 

In her very first triathlon, Team Intensity's Cindy Scott had an incredible debut in the sport.  Cindy, who only started swimming 4 months ago, came out of the water in about 35 minutes and subsequently began reeling in one triathlete after another.  Her bike split was 4th fastest in her age group and she followed that up with the fastest run split in her age group.  In fact, her run split was over 7 minutes faster than the next fastest runner in her age group.  She finished with a time of 3.07.22 and 4th in her age group.

Also racing well on Sunday were Mike Stratton (2.55.39), Melissa Smith (3.15.21), Melissa Hanas (3.24.22) and Jeff Lafitte (3.30.15).  From Team in Training, Total Intensity Sports was very proud of all of the team for finishing - many of whom were doing their very first triathlon.  Leading the way for TNT were Aston Tennefoss (2.40.53) who took 8th place in his age group including the 5th fastest bike split in his age group, Theresa Fuquay (3.01.35) who had a very strong sub-50 minute run, and John McIntosh (3.03.08).

Congrats to all of the Wildflower athletes!!

Also racing this past weekend was Alan McCorkle who competed in the Napa Valley Half Ironman.  Alan set a personal best for the half iron distance with a very strong 6.00.46 in horrible conditions - rain, wind and cold temperatures.   Nice job Alan!

We also want to mention a strong 5K win by Team Intensity's Nicole Young last weekend.  Nicole ran the Run Rocklin 5K in 22:29, which earned her an age group win and 5th place overall among the women.  Awesome job Nicole!

In another running event, Holly Olmsted posted a personal best in the half marathon distance at the River City Half Marathon.  Holly ran the half in 1:49:00, which put her second in her age group and 6th place overall woman.  Great job Holly!

More Strong Early Season Results for Klingensmith and Ulrich!
April 5, 2009

Darrel Ulrich took on the 70.3 in Oceanside this season, looking for improvement over his 6.11.27 time from last season.  Darrel crushed every aspect of his race last season - improving on the swim by 14 minutes, the bike by over 20 minutes and the run by more than 6 minutes and finishing in just under 5:24.  His swim split, 40.03, got him comfortably out of the water and he followed up his solid swim with very strong bike and run splits (2.49.02 and 1.48.01, respectively).  Also competing in Oceanside was Keith Swiat, finishing in a solid time of 6.43.58. Awesome work guys!

Meanwhile, competing in the Shamrock Half Marathon in Sacramento in March, Team Intensity's Jon Klingensmith put in his second consecutive half marathon personal best as he ran almost 2 minutes faster than his time in Carlsbad two months earlier.  Jon's time of 1.22.15 (6.17/mile pace) placed him 28th overall and 7th in his age group.  Way to run Jon!

 

Klingensmith Starts off 2009 with PR at Carlsbad
January 26, 2009

Jon's time put him just out of the top 1% of the entire field, 80th overall out of over 7,000 runners.  He was 20th in his age group, out of over 450.  Great job Jon!!

 

Templeton Qualifies for Worlds, TIS Athletes Race Strong at Nationals!
September 22, 2008

Racing strong in Portland, Oregon this weekend at the USA Triathlon National Championships were five TIS athletes, led by Team Intensity's Nancy Templeton.  Nancy came out of the swim in third place, only seconds behind the leaders in her age group and managed to take the lead out of T1.  She held onto the lead for about half the bike before being overtaken.  Nancy finished with a time of 2.36.06, almost 15 minutes faster than her time last year, and placed 14th in her age group - good enough for a spot on the US Age Group National Team competing in the World Championships next year in Australia.

Nancy was not the only TIS athlete who raced well - Team Intensity's Jon Fong and Myriam Frausto each posted improvements of 3-4 minutes over last year's national championship race and finished in 2.31.00 and 2.41.25 respectively.  Also racing well was Team Intensity's Allison Zwingenberger, who competed in her first triathlon only 13 months ago.  Allison raced very strong and finished in 2.42.22, highlighted by one of her strongest 10K run splits.  Finally, Team Intensity's Steve Reynolds, who qualified for Nationals just last weekend at the Triathlon in Pacific Grove, took about 5 minutes off his time from that race and finished his first trip to Nationals with a time of 2.34.51.

Incredible races everyone!!
