SPORTFIT NEWS
Success for SportFit Triathletes! - Kudos to two Team SportFit athletes: Missele Vegas successfully completed the Manassas Mini-Tri, despite bike mechanical problems. Steve Stapleton competed in and finished (strong) his FIRST triathlon at Broadlands, after a shaky start in the swim. Congrats to our newbie triathletes! It takes guts, perseverance, AND great fitness to finish a triathlon. We'll be helping these (and other) athletes improve every time they race.
Beth Baumgarten Wins Age Group at DC Triathlon - In the inaugural DC Triathlon, an Olympic event presided over by DC mayor/triathlete Adrian Fenty, Beth topped her age group with a personal best 2:42 time on a blistering hot course in Washington. Overcoming the effects of a recent cold, Beth swam a strong leg in the Potomac (yummy!), biked 20 mph over 25 miles, and ran a strong 10k in 90+ degree heat. Beth takes 3rd overall at Broadlands Triathlon - with very fast bike and run legs, Beth finished third among ALL women at the Broadlands Triathlon on June 6th. Apparently she has no idea how old she is...and we won't tell her!
Beth qualifies in 4:03 at Boston Marathon! - In her first Boston Marathon, Beth Baumgarten completed the 26.2 mile course in 4:03, under the age-group qualifying time. It was an beautiful day to run Boston, and a great performance for a first-timer. Boston is renowned for the difficult finish, starting with "Heartbreak Hill" about 17 miles into the course. Despite having to slow her pace in the last 7 miles, Beth finished strong and met her marathon goal. Is there an Ironman in her future?....Stay tuned.
Special Olympics presentation - Doug Baumgarten appeared at Special Olympics headquarters in Washington DC to help present a $24,000 check to Special Olympics. Along with other members of the Washington All-Stars baseball team (headed by "Washingtonian of the Year" Tom Vartanian), Doug and SportFit Lab raise funds for Special Olympics, which now serves and supports challenged athletes in 170 countries worldwide. We're proud to support this great cause - every person should be able to experience the joy, challenge, and health benefits of athletic competition and participation.
