College Grove,
Tennessee
Representing Hypercat in the more eastern
parts of the country, Dan Crowley and Rachel Sears, took on the beautiful
and challenging course of Powerman Tennessee on Sunday May 6th.
Race morning athletes were met with foggy,
humid, but otherwise good conditions. After a 15 minute delay, the
races were on!
Faced with an opening out & back 7.5k
run, a rolling 50k bike course and a final 7.5k on the same course, Dan
Crowley proved that he could 'du' it for the long haul. Toughing out
the bike despite calf cramps and the hilly rigors of this challenging
course, Dan finished his first Powerman race in stellar fashion. Congrats
speedoman!
In addition to competing in the Powerman race, Dan also represented the
New England region/ USA Duathlon Commission at a meeting with John
Raadshelders, President of the International Powerman Association to
discuss the future of Powerman and duathlon racing.
Dan's
next race is the Dannon duathlon in Wrentham, MA on 5/19/02.
