Iowa Indoor Triathlons 2016: Race Reports

by Katherine A. Roccasecca

This year it is my intention to race every single central Iowa indoor triathlon. And this will be a season-long indoor triathlon race report. Winter is the perfect time for me to focus on triathlon. And I want to share my love the unique sport of indoor triathlon with you.

I began getting active in 2009 and immediately gravitated to the sport of triathlon. I love all aspects of it... balancing the three sports, all the cool gear, figuring out just how fast I can change my shoes! But gradually I began focusing on mountain biking and now devote all my summers to that sport.

Des Moines Dirty Duathlon: Scott & Katherine's Report

by Scott Carkhuff, Kyle’s Bikes 2014 Triathlon Team, and Katherine Roccasecca

Des Moines Dirty Duathlon
2 mile Trail Run, 10 mile Mountain Bike, 2 mile Trail Run
Des Moines, Iowa
October 25, 2014

Scott and Katherine competed in the Des Moines Dirty Duathlon as a team. This is a duathlon so you run/bike/run. Scott did the run portions of this event, and Katherine biked. This is an annual, off-road event on hilly single track mountain bike trails. Normally for this event, you don’t know if it is going to be super cold, or raining, or what the weather is going to be like. This year it was perfect!

Hickory Grove Aquabike: Katherine’s Race Report

by Katherine A. Roccasecca

The cool thing about working for a triathlon company is that I get to hang out with a lot of triathletes. The downside is that there is a lot of pressure to do triathlons, and triathlons are hard. So I am really happy that the local Hickory Grove Triathlon has started offering the Hickory Grove Aquabike.

All I would have to do is swim 500 yards, bike 15.5 miles, and stroll over to the finish line. Sounds great, except that spring can’t decide if it wants to come to Iowa this year or not… and the water temp on race day was 59°F.

Complete a Bike Race Challenge: Race Report

In early October, Patrick issued a challenge by writing on the white board at the warehouse: “DTS Office Challenge #2: Complete a Bike Race this Fall.” Katherine, always one to get excited about a challenge, tried to organize as many folks as possible from Discount Tri Supply and Kyle’s Bikes into doing it.

(Our website used to be named Discount Tri Supply.)

Now that the season is over, here are our Complete a Bike Race Challenge race reports.

Cyman Triathlon: Discount Tri Supply’s Race Report

As Kyer was warming up to the idea of doing his first tri, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to do it alone.

Katherine started this, so she knew she had to do it. She offered to swim and talked BIll “Guru of Shoe” Lorenz into running. His girlfriend and Gaggle of Girls founder, Saraleigh, said she wanted to bike and joined the relay.

David, like Kyer, had never done a triathlon, but was one of the first to jump on board the idea. Bret had done sprint and Olympic triathlons in the past, and even though it had been a few years, he thought this seemed like a good opportunity. Patrick, as our former pro triathlete, was another who sort of “had to,” and we swept him up in our enthusiasm.

Here are our Cyman Triathlon race reports.
