- Chris Lieto Reports on Wildflower
-
It has been a couple years since I have raced Wildflower and I was excited to be there this year. The last few years I have had an injury and was unable to race. This year my training is going well and I am healthy. I have been putting in some good base training to gear up for the year and for Kona. Wildflower in my eyes is always the start of the racing year. It is always a wake up call and a gage to see how training is going. At this point I am very happy with my performance considering the time of year and training I have been doing.

Chris Lieto 3rd, Dominates Bike at Wildflower  LifeSport's Chris Lieto continues to tear up the pro circuit in 2008. Wildflower, the north California classic half Ironman, is considered one of the most scenic and challenging.
Chris bounced back from a slightly off swim, by his own standards, to ride right through the pro men's field and take a big lead onto the hilly trail run of the legendary race. Not until mile 9 of 13 did Ironman World Champion Chris McCormack, alongside Spaniard Eneko Llanos, catch him.
"I ran with them for about a mile", said Lieto, "but the pace was intense. I laid it down on the bike. I think it may be a bike course record. I hoped that would be enough."
Congratulations to Chris, and coach Lance, for a big time 3rd place finish and 4:03 Half Ironman time.
- Girl Power in St. Croix!

 A big congratulations goes out to LifeSport Pro Team members Bree Wee and Amanda Lovato for their top 10 finishes at the St Croix Ironman 70.3!
Bree had an amazing swim exiting the water with Julie Dibens and picked up the swim prime. From here she rode with the leaders over the hilly course that features the famous “Beast” climb and showed her strength in the run to finish 3rd, almost running down Nina Kraft, who finished just 12 seconds in front.
Amanda Lovato, in her first international race of the year, posted a very strong 8th place finish.
Be sure to check Amanda's and Bree's blog on out home page to read about their race and experiences.
Mensink Scores Top 10 in Korea! 
LifeSport Pro Team member Lisa Mensink scored her first top 10 elite finish at a World Cup this past weekend in Tongyeong, Korea. Lisa, who represents the Netherlands, posted a 35.49 on the run, a career best, and earned her first qualifying standard for the Olympic Team. If she scores one more top 10 finish at a World Cup she will gain automatic selection and be headed to the Beijing Olympics this summer. Next up for Lisa is the World Cup in Richards Bay, South Africa this weekend. In the men’s race, Brent McMahon posted a strong 16th place finish and will look to improve on that in South Africa. Another congrats to LifeSporter Chris Thomas who posted the fastest overall amateur time at the very popular St. Anthony’s race in Tampa Bay.

- These Hawaii Gals Know How To Win
A homegrown Hawaii gal, Rachel Ross has grown up with the sands and waters of Honolulu as her playground. In her second age group win at the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship she again put her stamp on the women's 30-34 title. And the good news is, she gets to go back again in 2008 to try and make it three in a row.
Ross beat her 2006 winning time by a little over nine minutes, having shaved time off her swim and run (although her bike was a bit slower) to finish in 9:56:21. But that's another story.
Ross got a fever of 102 on Thursday afternoon of race week and spent most of Friday in bed, totally delirious, trying to let the fever run its course.
