Stacey McMickens 2nd at River Cities Sprint Triathlon

Aug 7th, 2016 

PCG coach Stacey McMickens started the swim leg of the River Cities Sprint Triathlon in Benton, LA in a very relaxed state.   She really had no expectations due to the fact that she was nursing an injury, she figured she might do a little walk/run for the run portion.   She had a fantastic swim and took off on the bike.  "My legs did get in the pain cave on a couple of climbs and for a couple of 'get away from this dude' moments, but the bike went well and felt fast and I thought I crushed it!".  Then, on to the run.  She started with a slow jog, paying close attention to her calf.  It seemed to feel fine, so after 5 minutes of running she thought "screw it, let me see if I can just run the whole thing".  She did, and was thrilled to find out she finished 2nd in her age group!  

Congratulations Stacey!
