Round 3 of Friday Night Fights simulated the early stages of the Ironman Oz bike course. All participants started and finished at exactly the same moment, challenged with covering max distance in a 30 min. time block. Carrie McCusker continues to dominate the overall women’s GC, finishing first for the night and covering 10.36 miles. Strong efforts from Sarah Margolskee and Kellie Joyce placed themselves in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Brett Hellstedt took the top men’s slot, covering 11.55 miles, followed closely by Travis Kroot and Joe Lynch. The team of Ted Darling, Nate Smith, Carrie McCusker, and Jeff Fisher covered the greatest distance in the team division, 42.63 cumulative miles. We were most impressed with our youngest competitor of the evening, huge congrats to David Grover Jr., averaging 21+ mph and placing 9th overall; great display of strength and pacing discipline for this 14 year old!! We will be looking for some strong pulls from the father/son duo on the roads this summer:-) Thanks to all for coming out and we hope to see you on Friday, February 17th for a repeat of our first, 6.2 mile, prologue course.
