Say “hi” to Lizzie!
Meet Lizzie! Lizzie is an active member of the team, you will most likely see her at many of the local races with a smile on. She has been doing triathlons for 11 years now!

Athlete of the Month – Oct 2020 – Tom Siebold

Athlete of the Month / By

Say “hi” to Tom!
Tom is a staple on the team, you see him at races, training rides and usually it is with his wife, Kim (pictured with him in case you didn’t know who that was, haha). Tom has been doing triathlons for 15 years now, and not slowing down! His favorite race was the Racine 70.3, “I liked the swim in Lake Michigan and the run in the bluffs.” He also recommends “80/20 Triathlon”, (Matt Fitzgerald) and Joe Friel as a good source for training. If you have a moment to chat with Tom, you will find his witty humor entertaining and that he doesn’t take himself too seriously in triathlon, but enjoys taking training, “slow and easy”. Thanks Tom!

Athlete of the Month – Aug 2020 – Marty Owens

Athlete of the Month / By

Marty is the Director of Track & Field, Cross Country and Women’s Triathlon @ Guilford College, and has been involved with triathlon since 1991.
His first triathlon was Ocean City Triathlon in New Jersey, he prefers the 70.3 and full distances the most.

A great racing/training tip from Marty, “Enjoy the journey as you prepare for your races and don’t focus solely on your results in regards to placement. We all participate in this slightly absurd sport for different reasons and we each define our own successes! ”
Which is a great tip when training with a team and racing together, it is easy to compare yourself with teammates.

Marty has a favorite mantra which is,“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined” Henry David Thoreau
