Tri Girl






Our girls ruled at the recent Tri Girl race on August 14! Finish Strong Racing's Chelsea Estes won the overall race with a time 1:00:34. Due to the drought, the swim portion of the race was cancelled -- turning the triathlon into a 1 mile run-11 mile bike- 3mile run duathlon. Chelsea finished first in all legs. She finished her first mile run in 6:13, followed by a fast bike of 31:54 (20.7 mph pace), and finishing the final 3 mile run in 20:57 (6:59 per mile pace).

Finish Strong Racing sisters, Katherine and Hannah Barron, performed extremely well at the race taking 1st and 2nd in their age groups respectively. Katherine came in 11th overall in 1:06:35. She ran the first mile in 6:59, biked the course in 32:55 (20.1 mph), and finished the final run in 25:34 (8:31 per mile pace). Hannah was not far behind with an overall time of 1:11:10. Her splits were 6:54 run, 34:57 bike, and 27:49 run.

Kristie Chandler also had a strong finish placing 7th in her competitive 45-49 age group. Kristie ran the first mile in 8:08, powered through the bike in 34:17 (19.3 mph) and finished the day with a 28:10 final 3 mile run. Kristie's overall time was 1:12:58.

Congrats to all the tri girls!
