Finish Strong Racing's Dana Lyons and Jerry Palmer headed to The Big Easy to compete in New Orleans 70.3 on April 22. Due to high winds, the swim leg of the race was abandoned and replaced by a 2 mile run, followed by 52-mile bike and 13.1-mile run. Neither the weather or the race layout managed to dampen the race action. Despite high winds, Jerry had a remarkable bike ride followed by a solid run. Jerry's splits were 17:33 run, 2:37:37 bike, 2:09:52 final half marathon for an overall time of 5:10:07. Dana boasted the fastest run splits in his 50-54 AG. His splits were 13:41 run, 2:19:09 bike, 1:29:14 final run for an overall time of 4:04:10. With a staggered start, it was difficult to know where you stood compared to your competition. As a result, Dana just missed 2nd place by 36 seconds to Rafe Armstrong who crossed the finish line a couple minutes behind him. Congrats on a great race!
