Several months ago Patti Miller decided to take on the challenge of a half-ironman distance triathlon. She has not slowed down with her training ever since. She has been out two to three times a day on the bike, running, in the pool, or some other cardio work. This past weekend gave Patti a test to see how here training in going so far.
Although the "big" race is not until November, Patti headed to White Lake to compete in the Inside Out Sports White Lake Internataional Tri this past weekend. Here hard work paid off. Patti finished 41st among 240 women in the race. Her xxx meter open water swim was competed in 38:32. After a quick transition she jumped on the bike where she completed the XX mile ride in 1:24:03. This was the 41st fastest bike time among women and the 9th fastest in her age group. After the final transition, Patti got back to her roots where she ran a 48:14 10k! For the record, that time would have placed her 7th at the Golf Club Race this past weekend. . . and that was after swimming and biking!
All of this added up to a 2:55:22 finishing time, and a 5th place finish among the largest and most competitive age group. Excellent work Patti. Can't wait to see the results of you half!
Patti's a BEAST! Congrats!
