Last weekend officially kicked off the start of the 2009 triathlon season.
Team Splish produced some great results at Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside. Amanda Lovato finished 14th against a very-stacked professional field with a time of 4:46:19. Courtenay Brown had a strong professional debut placing 20th with a time of 4:53:00. Rachel Ross kept the momentum going and placed 2nd in the 30-34 age group with a quick time of 4:47:43 (she also qualified for Kona but declined the spot). Michael Lovato also had a good day with a 9th place finish and a time of 4:03:35.
New Splisher Amanda Stevens raced Ironman 70.3 New Orleans. She finished 12th (also against a highly-competitive pro field) with a time of 4:35:35.
Awesome job, everyone!
