Back in the Saddle

I cannot believe we are already through the first few weeks of January and moving with full steam into the new year.

The Madison Multisport team is ‘back in the saddle’ and training to reach their 2009 goals.  An exciting year of training and racing events awaits.  In this pre-season time, we have our goals set on some great local running events; including the Shamrock Shuffle, Monona 20K, Madison Marathon, and CrazyLegs Classic.  Most of us will start out the year with the local season opener, the Lake Mills Triathlon (sprint) and also our backyard favorite, the Verona Triterium Triathlon.  We have claimed “The Door County Triathlon” as our team destination race with teammates in both the sprint and half-ironman events.  We’ll be looking to wrap up our season at Ironman Wisconsin, the Devil’s Challenge Triathlon, or a fall marathon challenge.

In addition to our Madison Multisport Team training, we are offering a number of clinics and events in our community.  Check out our FREE Race Preview Clinics, Open Water Swim Training, and new this year, Women’s Only Triathlon Clinics at the Madison Trek Store.

It is going to be an exciting and successful season for the Madison Multisport Team.  We hope you will check in often and join us on our journey as we pursue our goals with passion.

Ed P – Fast Eddie claimed the top spot in every single aspect of his age group. His speedy swim-bike-run launched him to the top spot on the podium.

Ben P – The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…. Ben came out of the water 1st, posted the 2nd fastest bike split, and held on with a solid 5k to claim 1st place in his division.

 

September 7, 2008 – Ironman Wisconsin

Ironman Wisconsin – September 7, 2008 was an exciting day for the entire MM crew. 10 teammates raced; 5 newbies and 5 veterans of the IM distance. Nine teammates were able to achieve their finish line goals and one, ending up in the ER, will be back next year for some unfinished business. Congrats to all our athletes for your amazing achievement and for showing the rest of us what it looks like to pursue your goals with passion. And thanks to the rest of the team for your endless support as volunteers and cheerleaders throughout the day. I think all our Ironman teammates agree that they couldn’t have done it without your support.
