Tribe at Barnburner

As mentioned on the Tribe Newsletter, this past weekend was Barnburner, here's a more detailed account of how it all shaped out from Jake Hernandez and Jason Boles.  Great job guys!


Great Weekend all around here's how the results came down:

All the Mens Tribe Teams earned the Belt Buckle Jake has posted some pictures on the Tribe Facebook Page, make sure you check them out.

The 4 Man Tribe Team (Jason Boles, Jake Hernadez, Mike Shanchez, Mike Nevile) Finished 6th over all out of 47 Posse (4 people) Teams, with a 4th Place amongst the Men's Teams :13 seconds from 3rd place (108miles).  Both Jake and Jason had the Fastest Non Pro Card Splits!! 6th(Jake) and 7th(Jason) Overall  Fastest Posse Splits.

Andy Cope, Finished under 11 hours earning a Belt Buckle in the Men's Solo Category while Jamie and "Spiceman" - Finished in a little over 10 hours int he Pardner (Duo) Category.

On the Women's side, M1's Dirty Girls finished 1st overall in the Women 4 person Teams category while
MPB/Tribe Lifelock team Finished 3rd over all in the Womens 4 person team!

Here's Jason's Account of the race:

Friday around Midnight it started dumping Rain and the temp dropped to 42 degrees at 7800 feet, The Race started at 7am with each team needing to complete 4 26.5 mile laps in under 12 hours for SOLO, 11 hours for Duo and 10 hours for four person teams. Each lap had roughly 2500ft of vertical with a final 5 miles climb with over 1200ft of climbing starting at the 19.5 mile marker.  When the Race started is was 48 degrees with Mud Everywhere! By the time the first lap done the Rain had stopped and the temp got into the low 50s. The Rest of the Day was cloudy and windy with temps never exceeding 60. Great job to Redrock for putting on a GREAT event and Travis from Rooley Sunglasses for helping out with support for the Tribe teams.  This is a Great Race and was Awesome to see Tribe have the largest numbers of riders present at the race!!

Thanks Jason and all of you out there representing Tribe!

Tribal Sprint & This past weekend

The race was great!  On of our teammates was not present.  He was celebrating the birth of his 2nd baby girl.  J  Congratulations to Chris Latvaaho and his wife for the birth of Makenzie @ 2:00am!!!  …and you thought you got up early!

Otherwise, the day went off without a hitch.  Thank you for all of you that came out and raced, volunteered, and help make the race absolutely awesome.  I could not have asked for better weather.  I could not have asked for a better team.  Here are some highlights… hopefully, I didn’t forget anybody.

Rage Booze Cruise + Alley racing
7pm - ??
This is one of the big ones... a don't miss it event.  Rage hosts the greatest Booze Cruise event around! 
 
They are attaching this one to a charity event. They are alley racing (details on www.ragecycles.com) which is optional from 7:00pm to 8:00pm  Entries are $25 a head for 3 man teams.  Note:  100% of the money (not just the proceeds) goes to the Zoo fund.  Yay Rage! 
 
For those of you that don't want to partake in the alley racing, we are taking an optional collection at TRIBE to take over with us when we head over as a group for the cause.  Give if you can... don't if you can't!

Chief's Birthday Rides

The Chief had his birthday on Monday, March 16th (Mama said it is the greatest day on the history of the planet!). 

To celebrate, Kevin likes to host a group ride out of the shop and YOU are invited!  Come and show your love by celebrating with the Chief on a TRIBE group ride this week!

Chief's Birthday  Rides

 

This Thursday night and Saturday morning, we are attempting to break the Tribe ride population count of years past.  The current record is 63 on the Thursday night ride which starts @ 7:10pm right here at Tribe.  If you haven't done a night ride... this is a great one to start with.  It is an easy 10 mile course (1-4 loops... your choice) and a great group of people.  Everybody from Pro to Shcmo is welcome and will enjoy themselves.
 
The Saturday ride... THE BIG ONE!  Last year, we crushed the record with 117 people!  I want to beat that this year.  So, come one, come all... just come!  We leave the shop at 7:00am sharp.  It is our typical Saturday ride route of 46 miles through PV to Hidden Hills and then back to the shop.  
 
I am a weirdo!  Some people like to receive gifts on their birthday... well, I like to give them!  So, on either ride:  IF we break the population of the previous year (63 on Thursday and 117 on Saturday), then I will have some fantastic gift certificates that we will be dishing out.  So, come on out and have a blast with the Chief.  
 
Thursday Night Road Ride:  7:10pm
Saturday Morning Road Ride:  7:00am

Tribe Spotting at the Races

Wow!  What a big weekend for racing!
 
jozsefmajorJozsef Major didn't have big expectations in this weekends Duathlon, as his specialty is long course and Ironman.  He surprised even himself when he took 2nd overall at the Desert Classic Duathlon.The overall champion is Chris Foster who not only is lightning fast at the shorter distance course, but may very well be bound for the Olympics. Keep your eye out on that freak of nature... Congratulations Chris. Congratulations Jozsef. 
 
Congratulations to all that raced a fine race put on by the Phoenix Triathlon Club.
 
In addition to the Du, Tribe was also spotted at the Vulture Mine TT and at the Sun Devil Criterium (results not posted yet).

TRIBE spotting...
TRIBE has been spotted all over the place in race after race (and even on facebook). There are so many results, that my head is spinning!

Our women's team cleaned up at the McDowell Mountain Circuit race... not to mention many time trial wins over the last few weeks.
 
Our men's team had it's first official win this year in the Valley of the Sun criterium with Tribe's very own Andres Douzoglou taking the win and a 5th place GC overall.
Congrats to all of you.

Ironman Arizona 2008 - part II

Ironman AZLike always, Tribe partnered with First Wave Tri Club for the run aid station #4 which was right under the Mill avenue bridge closest to the transition area.  The station was ran smooth as silk.  Don Campbell (Captain) along with Phil Plentzas and Jim Miller ran one great station. Thank you to the volunteers that made our station great.  
 
Thank you to Freak Factor Tri Club, AZ Tri Club, Tribe Racing, family members, and most of all First Wave Tri Club for a fantastic aid station experience.  The athletes definitely appreciated it!

TRIBE Pro Results
Congratulations to Jozsef Major for his 4th place overall finish
!  He had hoped and prepared to defend his April title, but the competition was fierce.  
 
Prior to the race, I sat down with Jozsef and his interpreter (and girlfriend) Lucy.  Of course, my first question was:  Who is a threat.  Typically, each contender will know who is a legitimate threat... this is usually about 7-8 athletes.  In this case, he said there were about 15-20 that were contenders.  The top 3 were on his list along with the remainder of the top 10.
 
So, his assessment was accurate.  Andres Raelert (Nov Champ) had an incredible run at 2:36:48.  They referred to his run as "Majoring" the competition as this is what Jozsef did back in April.  So, not only did he top five, but winning is such a fashion is now reffered to as "Majoring the field."  Running is Jozsefs strength, so I discussed how he felt about his run performance.  He was happy with his speed on lap one, but got the "urge" to hit the porto potties twice... and not the quick type either.  This was a bummer for him because he felt strong.  He chalked up lap two as a loss and finished his third lap very strong.  I was the only person that he was talking to through Lucy and yet he was still very respectful of his fellow athletes stating that they were fast and they deserved their respective placement based on their performances.  I can't tell you how proud we are being the Top sponsor of Jozsef this year.  He's part of our Tribe.  Our relationship is through IM Kona 2009, so we look forward to many races, podiums, and wins!

TRIBE Results
Congratulations to all of you for hitting the starting line at this Ironman.  The conditions were great and there were a bunch of PRs and a huge amount of smiles out on the course.  Regardless as to whether you dnf'd, finished right at the wire, or PR'd... CONGRATULATIONS!!!
