ANOTHER WIN - KANSAS IRONMAN

Well, I made it to the end of my epic 3 week racing stint with a win at the inaugural Kansas 70.3. It was a tough string of racing including a mini-Kona training camp after the Hawaii 70.3, but I made it out alive with 2 wins and a top 5 placing at Alcatraz. Read More

SAM WINS IRONMAN 70.3 HAWAII

Aloha from the big Island,
It was a hot windy day on the big island today so I finally got to taste a little of Madame Pele's wrath (apparently when it is hot and windy in Kona they blame it on a mythical "Madam Pele", goddess of fire, volcanoes, dance and violence...she sounds like my kind of girl). But with no flat tires to contend with this year I easily defended my title at the Hawaii 70.3. It was a great training opportunity to prepare for a tough day in October. I heard we have had it easy, weather-wise in the last few years so this years Hawaii Ironman is supposed to be a rough one. I hope the wind and heat continues all next week for my spring time mini "Kona training camp". The harder the better :)
Next week : I tackle the Rock at the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon.
Mahalo,
Sam

XTRI INTERVIEW

In these days leading up to the 2007 IM World Championships in Kona, Xtri is focusing on Kona contenders and the buzz surrounding the event. First up is Sam McGlone, 2006 Ironman 70.3 World Champion. She's a former Olympian and a force to be reckoned with at the half distance, and her inaugural full distance race will be none other than Kona. Will she surprise us on race day and make it all look easy? Read on for what Sam had to say about it all...

1. Tell us about your childhood � what type of student you were, what sports you were involved in, etc.

I was a geek/jock in high school. I got good grades and trained for sports even though it was cooler to be a slacker. But I had a great group of friends and we had fun too. I did cross-country and rowing in high school, but my first love was horse riding � I had to give it up when horses got too expensive�bikes eat less.

ANOTHER WIN

I won the 5430 Long Course triathlon (1/2 Ironman distance) in Boulder this weekend, setting a new course record and defeating a strong field including Joanna Zeiger, Sue Williams and Mel Ashton.
It was my first time racing at altitude so I wasn't sure what to expect from myself. I suffered in the swim (very common due to the limited oxygen) but came through with a strong bike (2:20) and run (1:26 on trail) to win the race and set a course record of 4:17. I felt great on the bike and enjoyed the scenic course around the Boulder reservoir. There was good incentive to run quickly as the heat was to soar to 96 degrees by noon. Great training for Kona!
I will be racing in Chicago as a last "speed workout" before Hawaii. The long training is going well and I am looking forward to October!

AM WINS VINEMAN IRONMAN 70.3

I am in beautiful Sonoma county - the heart of wine country (or as the locals like to put it "Sonoma is for wine; Napa is for auto parts") for the Vineman Ironman 70.3. I had a great day, winning the race and setting a new course record. It was my second match up against... Read More

SAM WINS HONU IRONMAN 70.3

This race will kick off a mini - training camp in Kona where Sam intends to get in some valuable training on the Hawaii Ironman course in preparation for her debut at the Ironman distance in Kona this fall.

2007 - BANG THEY ARE OFF

The starters gun is about to go off for Samantha as she begins her 2007 season with St.Anthony's and then the St.Croix 70.3 triathlon. This is the beginning of a very different yet exciting season for Sam. She is stepping up to the Ironman distance at Kona. She has taken a longer break over the winter season, enjoyed some skiing and then got some base miles in Australia as well.

2006 - IT'S A WRAP

Well, it is finally the end of a long season. It was an exciting year - I think of it as a "Tale of Two Cities" year : it was the best of times and the worst of times. In moving to Colorado Springs this year I learned some things about how I respond to altitude... Read More
