For the second race in a row, Team PacWest won the USA Productions’ Club Team Race Series Challenge. This time we took the overall title at the Silicon Valley International Triathlon down in San Jose yesterday morning.

Congrats to Justin Artam and Ab Brody for completing their first triathlons in impressive fashion. PacWest had six (6) Top-3 podium finishers and a near miss by our pro Jeff Piland who just missed 3rd place in the Pro/Elite division by less than 1/100 of a second! Awesome race Jeff! Meanwhile, a few others also had some mechanical and timing problems so we likely would’ve had a couple more podiums…but that’s racing folks! Special thanks to our amazing supporters out on the course. It seemed like we had an army of fans out there! We also wanted to recognize our athletes who did the “double” this weekend (Giant Race Half + SVIT). Awesome effort all! May your sore legs recover fast!
