Race Reports

This was the inaugural year for Ironman 70.3 Washington in Maple Valley. It was awesome to have a local Ironman race so close to home with a beautiful venue and a great race course.  Our team had a very strong and successful day and earned 2nd place in the Ironman Triclub competition.  All of our athletes had fantastic races and it was good to see everyone out there pushing their limits and making things happen!

A strong and successful day for our team at Ironman Canada and Ironman 70.3 Canada!  Whistler is such a challenging course that it was great to have the weather finally cooperate this year.  Whistler has been a great venue for Ironman Canada for the past 8+ years but look forward to returning back to Penticton for Ironman Canada in 2020.

Fat Salmon swim is a great long distance swim race from I-90 bridge to Madison Beach Park.  Water conditions were ideal this year and we had 14 strong athletes complete the swim. Great swimming by all!  Thank you to teammates Jeff Sorrentino, Bert Chavez, Glen Moore, & Jim Rauch for the team support.

A great morning for the popular and only triathlon race held in Seattle.  A beautiful scenic race course which is flat and fast (except that hill on the run).  Pauole Sport was well represented with athletes and supporters and lots of fun was had by all.

The Eastside Sprint Triathlon at Lake Sammamish Park is always a fun local race for our team.  Our athletes raced hard and it showed with 6 out of 7 athletes earning top 3 in their age-groups.  It was great to have Matthieu Marescaux back racing triathlons after a 2 year hiatus

It was a fantastic start to the triathlon race season for our team at Ironman 70.3 Victoria! It was awesome to see everyone so strong and fit with a positive attitude and a smile on their face.

The Tenacious 10 Mile and 10K Run was our second team race of 2019. We love including this race in our team line up as it is a local grass roots race that is fun, positive and supportive of women (and men). It was a beautiful spring morning in Seattle and we had 8 speedy women racing on this flat and fast course.

Mercer Island was our first local team race of the year with 9 Pauole Sport athletes running the Half Marathon.  Everyone had great races so early in the season and on a pretty hilly course.  Awesome to see everyone’s winter training paying off.  Well done team…proud of everyone’s efforts!

The Pauole Sport team was well represented at Ironman Canada and Ironman 70.3 Canada races.  This was an especially tough year for the athletes with the new tougher bike course and very hot temperatures.  We had 6 strong and resilient Ironman finishers who had to dig deep and 7 speedy Ironman 70.3 finishers who were tough from start to finish.

Eastside has become one of the team's favorite local races, located at Lake Sammamish state park. This year, there were two distances offered, with the sprint distance of: 880 yard swim, 15 mile bike and a run of just under 3 miles. The Pauole Team had 16 athletes competing this year, and we owned the podium, with 10 of 16 athletes earning top five spots in their respective AG!
