Alisha Lion and David Thompson Capture the Overall Wins at the 12th Annual Powerman Alabama
Irondale, AL --
Epic. That is the word used by professional triathletes, Josiah Middaugh and Alisha Lion to describe the 12th annual Powerman Alabama Duathlon held Sunday, April 15, 2007 in Irondale, AL, a suburb of Birmingham. Undoubtedly everyone else who competed in this year’s race will agree. This year athletes faced temperatures in the upper 30s and low forties, but that wasn’t the worst part. There was also the occasional brief rain storm that came through the area. Cold and wet don’t make for a fun combination when riding a bike, but even the rain could be tolerated. The icing on the cake for Mother Nature this year was the unrelenting wind. Along with the challenging rolling hills on the course, racers had to face wind gusts up to 45 mph. All who competed will remember the wind.
Luckily the cold, rain and wind held off long enough on Saturday for some younger competitors to show their skills. New to Powerman Alabama weekend this year were the PowerKids Duathlon and the Irondale Presidential Fitness One Mile Kids Run. Twenty-seven children ages five to thirteen competed in the PowerKids races which ranged in distances for three different age categories.
Over 500 racers were part of the Powerman Alabama weekend events. Participants came from twenty-two states and five different countries. 27% of the racers were women and 73% were men. The most represented age categories were 35-39 years and 40-44 years respectively.
The 2007 Powerman Alabama race was a world qualifier for the 2007 Short Course Duathlon World Championship being held in Gyor, Hungary on May 20, 2007.
Professional Men
David Thompson of St. Paul, MN won the professional men’s race with a time of 2:16:31. Powerman Alabama’s 2005 and 2006 champion Tom Jeffrey of Richmond, VA was just six seconds behind Thompson taking the 2nd place prize. Birmingham’s own Ty Stanfield turned in an outstanding performance finishing 5th overall in his second year competing at the professional level.
Professional Women
While the women’s race was exciting in its own rights, it wasn’t quite as nail biting as the men’s. Alisha Lion of Holly Springs, NC was the first female finisher with a time of 2:37:57, nearly five minutes faster than her nearest competitor. Birmingham’s home-town female pro athlete Deanna Frank had a stellar race again this year finishing 4th overall in the pro women’s field.
Amateur Winners
Amy Kloner of Norcross, GA repeated her victory as top amateur female, winning with a time of 2:47:17. The top amateur male was Eric Bell of Knoxville, TN with a time of 2:22:41.
In the shorter distance Whistlestop Duathlon held along with Powerman, the winners were Lisa Marshall of Alpharetta, GA and Clayton Tillery of Cumming, GA.
The next Team Magic race of the year is the new Alabama Coastal Triathlon which will be held Sunday May 6, 2007 in Orange Beach / Gulf Shores, AL.
