(Photo by Randy Peck)The BIKE STOP PRO TEAM has reached the end of its 2009 season, but not without a bang. Female off-road triathlete, Julia Peck, represented BSPT and Culpeper as part of Team USA in Maui for the 2009 XTERRA World Championships on October 25, 2009. Julia finished 6th in her division in a total time of 5:02:43 for her first World Championship competition. Last month , Julia trekked across the country to Ogden, UT for the XTERRA National Championships where she placed 5th in her division in a time of 4:49:00. Currently, Julia is ranked #1 in her division for the XTERRA Atlantic Regional standings and #4 for the National (US) standings. Kick butt, Julia!
"It was a great event...weather could not have been more perfect ! We stayed in Park City where I trained for 2 days...mostly to acclimate - it was perfect since elevation is higher - Race day - 70's and water was a wet suit swim . mile swim, 24 mile mtb up to 7,500 feet , 6.2 mi run - one descent of 550 feet about midway - then steep climb to the crest...incredibly scenic (only appreciated when I would stop to take a look)" -Julia Peck
BSPT UPDATE:
Additionally, male triathlete Dave Jones took to the road (on foot for a change) in the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon on the same weekend, finishing in a time of 3:07:37 which qualifies him for the 2010 Boston Marathon.
