PACWEST IS 2009 USA PRODUCTIONS TRI CLUB CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS!

After a furious influx of last-minute registrations Friday, our numbers jumped from 15 to 27 registered participants which made us the largest team for race morning.

Brief description of the race: It was PWA EVERYWHERE, CRUSHING THE COURSE, ALL MORNING LONG!!

Result? We had nine (9) podium finishes which included 3-1st, 5-2nd, 1-3rd. To give you an even better idea of how DOMINANT the team was, we had 6 men in the Top 10 overall and 6 women in the Top 15 female overall. Also not to be out done, the majority of our club team members placed in the Top 15 in their respective age groups. Wow!

Honestly Coach Keith and I could not be any prouder. As part of our team award, USA Productions will be throwing a team BBQ and beer bash in our backyard. Once we secure a location, date and time, we’ll let everyone know. Congratulations again to the entire team!
