| Super
hot in Oaxaca Mexico!
Rachel Sears joined Wendy Ingraham, Lori Bowden, Andrea Fisher and
Tereza Macel in the pro field of the Mexico Half-Ironman on 5/17.
Treated with 80 degree ocean temperatures and beautiful views,
athletes were challenged with some of the most brutal racing conditions on the
planet. Race start time was an early 6:30 am, but it didn't take
long for the mercury to rise. By the run, athletes faced temperatures
ranging from 105-112 degrees. Toss in the extreme humidity and the Mexico Half
made Kona weather seem like a cool summer day. Rachel finished 5th place in her first international triathlon
race. Pictures/race story to follow.
5/22/03 - Hypercat-Hind Ultra Runners take top honors.
Bill Walz and Ethan Veneklasen posted impressive results at the

marathon weeks earlier, endured some tough moments, but rose to occasion
and learned invaluable lessons for future races. Great job, Randy.
-Laura Cuda, competed on a stellar relay team as the team
cyclist. Laura had a tremendous ride in spite of the slow race
conditions. Wind, driving rain and a chill in the air, did little to
slow down Laura and her speedy self. Way to fly, Laura!
-Chuck Morganson, had a phenomenal performance...taking over a
hour off of his '02 Wildflower Long Course race. Chuck will
again take on Ironman USA in Lake Placid, joining Hypercats, Mark
Fleming and Ray Peveri. Chuck you are awesome!
-Rachel Sears, returned to one of her favorite races in good form.
After posting a career best 1.2 mile swim, Rachel transitioned and
headed out for the bike. Unfortunately a derailleur problem detected
within shouting distance of T-1, left Rachel with a 2-3 gears in
the small ring and no big ring gears for the 56 mile rolling course.
Rachel ended her race after the bike. She will be racing again on 5/24
in Mexico at the Mexico Half-Ironman.
