Weekly Update 9/27/2021

 

Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates, and our community.







The big news this week is Toby Dogwiler's absolutely fantastic win at Long Course Duathlon National Championships. Toby laid down some spectacular splits to win his division and finish 6th overall. This adds yet another National Championship trophy to the SBCA collection. Additionally, a couple of our Ultra Runners topped overall podiums this weekend. Gary Shaw wrote a pretty fantastic race report about his experience at the Bristow Backwoods Beer Mile and Games- Here. Former SBCA member turned Pro Triathlete Danielle Lewis came in ahead of Mirinda Carfrae to snag 3rd overall at IM70.3 Augusta. 












THIS WEEK!- The one and only Tour Divide legend and all-around great guy, Hal Russell, has written a book - "Touch Both Lines." Hear all about the Book and how to order it. Ask Hal questions about endurance/ultra events, his life, and service. Pretty much whatever you want to ask a legend. 🙂 Book for sale here. 



Trailfest is coming up, and registration is open. This is always a great event for the trail runners, and a terrific precursor to the Dogwood Canyon Trail races a month later. The event will be at 2 Rivers in Highlandville. Details and registration can be found HERE. 


    

                              






You may or may not be aware that Springfield has a NICA team in the Missouri Interscholastic Cycling League. The 3rd race in this season's series will be held this weekend at our own local Two Rivers Mountain Bike Park. They are currently seeking volunteers to fill a number of roles. Sign up Here. If you want to see the future of MTB and likely the future of cycling in the US, you'll see it here. The league runs a very professional event. Watching the sportsmanship and competition is very inspiring. 














Continuing items of importance:


SBCA Segment Challenge (riding and running) will be starting Sept 1, and the segment will run for the length of the month. Each month will be the same time frame, and this challenge will run for a full year. Let us know what segments you would like to see in the challenge.
