DRIVERS CLUB TRIATHLETES RAKE IN AWARDS AT RECPLEX INDOOR TRIATHLON
CARL CARLSON'S WIN STREAK ENDED
TEAM ALLEMAND ALMOST SWEEPS TEAM MARTIN

 

A calf injury and dehydration cramps brought an end to Carl Carlson's amazing win streak at the RecPlex Indoor Triathlon Series but all was not lost as a second place overall finish still leaves him poised to win the overall series with only one competition left.  When the dust cleared The Drivers Club took three age group championships , had two impressive debuts and in a surprising twist Dan Allemand edged Matt Martin.  This left Martin battling  newcomer 16 year old Lindsey Allemand to the bitter end in a desperate attempt to avoid a Team Allemand sweep.

The March edition of the RecPlex Indoor Triathlon Series once again pitted series leader Carlson against Brian Rummelhart.  The two Driver Club members swept the top two spots at the January race.  Rumme could not take advantage of Carlson's injury plagued  performance as he too succumbed to dehydration cramps during the run portion of the race.  Like Carlson he did win his age group.  Carlson finished with 12.28 miles to Rumme's 11.91 miles.

Making her first appearance in an indoor triathlon Jodi Rummelhart was the third finisher for the Drivers Club finishing 14th overall with 10.42 miles.  This completed the Team Rummelhart sweep of Matt Martin.

Martin, hampered by shin splints, toughed out another difficult day.  He used a sizzling swim, and strong bike to fend off a hard charging Lyndsey Allemand to avoid the Team Allemand Sweep.  He finished with 9.02 miles to win his age group. 

Lyndsey had a strong showing in her first triathlon finishing 2nd in her age and battling Martin right until the finish line.  Her finishing distance was 8.17 miles.  "Although I'm very happy with my performance I really wanted to catch Matt on the run and be named the new MVM.  I just couln't catch him on the run."

Next up is the April 22nd Indoor/Outdoor finale of the RecPlex Indoor Triathlon Series.
