This Sunday will see some of the best in triathlon line up for the annual Vineman 70.3, to be held in beautiful Sonoma wine country. Vineman traditionally hosts one of the most competitive fields outside of the world championships. Five of the SOAS crew will be out there flying the team flag so be sure to cheer for us as we pass by, and we'll return the smile.
Racing in the 30-34 category will be Steph Tobin, co-founder of SOAS racing. Steph has aged up this year and will be looking to show her strength out on the course! Steph recently raced Ironman CDA and had a top 10 showing in the super tough AG.
Co-captain Hailey Manning will also be out on course at the sme time as Steph and will be using this race as she prepares to tackle the "double" this fall in Vegas and then Kona world Championships. This is Hailey's favorite race fo the season, so look for a big smile from her all day long!
Heading up the 35-39 category will be Alana Kennedy-Nasser, all the way from the big state of TX! Alana will be well prepped for Vineman as the temps have been SCORCHING in TX as of late, and the Cali weather will seem refreshing to her. Alana is also prepping for Kona in October.
Joining Alana will be Andrea Wright Astudillo. You may have seen our athlete profile on Andrea, she is making a comeback after a serious bike crash. We are SO looking forward to seeing this gal rock the course!
Racing the 40-44AG is our other super co-founder Kebby Holden- Kebby aged up this year and recently won her first race of the season in Silicon Valley. Kebby is known for her biking powers, so look for her to be smiling out in the vineyards.
After the race, I am sure that a few of the team will be getting to know each other a bit better over glasses of world famous wine and burgers in Healdsburg!
