Miles for a Future

Sunday, ranging between 15 and 100 miles. I chose the 62 mile route (metric century or 100 Kilometers) to accomplish my fundraising goal for the year. With the help and camaraderie of WSI team mates, Team Active employees, and loyal Team Active customers I was able to stay on task and complete the 62 mile route. I raised over $400 in donations to support CityLinc ministries here in Battle Creek so they can continue to provide licensing services for foster care ACC2014and adoption.ACC2014a

Thanks to all our sponsors!

2014 Tri del Sol Race Report

It was a beautiful day for a triathlon in Middleville, MI at YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin. The water temp was just cool enough to make it “wesuit legal”. I felt like I had a really good swim: 750 meters in 11 minutes and 43 seconds. Then on to the 13.5 mile rolling bike course which I completed in 35 minutes and 32 seconds for an average speed of 20.8 MPH. I finished 2nd over all in the sprint aquabike division. Matt Wright

Girls on the Run 5K Support ~ Matt Wright

I helped lead the Girls on the Run practice 5K Tuesday, May 20th at Endeavor Charter Academy! The coaches had planned a route through the surrounding neighborhood using chalk and signs. Tim Hubbard and I helped the girls stay on pace and on course. What a great program!

Willow Time Trial 2014 ~ Matt Wright

This was my very first time trial event and my first race of the year. The temperature was mild, about 55 degrees and very windy. Sustained wind speed was 15 MPH with 25 MPH gusts. The course was 20K. 6 loops around the Willow Metro Park. It seemed as though the wind was against you on 3/4 of each loop. I managed to complete the course in 37:41.4 with an average speed of 21 MPH which put me in 19th of 24 in the CAT 5 Men. It was a good experience and a good training session for my upcoming events this summer.

31st Seahorse Challenge Sprint Aquabike Race Report

Medal

It was a perfect day for racing here in Climax this morning! The air temp was about 60 degrees at the start. The water temp was 67. I raced the Sprint Aquabike division which means I had to swim 500 meters and then bike 20 kilometers. I was able to get right in the front of all the sprint athletes at the start of the swim, I always try to do that to avoid getting caught up in the slower swimmers. I felt pretty good throughout the entire swim and my time was 9:18. I then raced up the hill on foot to get my bike from transition.

The bike course was very hilly, but the wind was very light (about 4 MPH). My average speed on the bike was 20.5 MPH. I finished first….because no one else was doing that particular event. It was great to see so many other WSI team mates there, plenty of awards for the team! Everyone did awesome!
