Great Marsh Park, Somerset Avenue, Cambridge, MD 21613
The 2012 EnduraFit Ironman 70.3 EagleMan, Relay & AquaVelo Registration Is Closed
Bike Course Advisory - 5/16/12
Currently there are paving projects along portions of the EagleMan Bike Course which will be completed by race day and will provide improved riding surfaces for athletes. The first stretch is through Church Creek (3/4 mile) and should be finished in a few days. The crews will then begin the 5 mile stretch between Gootees Marine and Little Blackwater River (Route 335). When the surface is “milled” it will still be passable by bike but you should be cautious.
Welcome to the EnduraFit Ironman 70.3 EagleMan Triathlon, one of the most popular Ironman 70.3 triathlons in the country. Once again, this “staple” race is a qualifier for both the 2012 Ironman World Championship in Kona (30 slots) and the 2012 Ironman Championship 70.3 in Lake Las Vegas (30 slots).
This year’s race promises to be another great, world-class event, packed full of Pros from around the world. The 2011 EagleMan event delivered a stellar field of professionals and loads of excitement.
American, TJ Tollakson reclaimed his 2007 EagleMan title, and 2010 Ironman World Champion, Mirinda Carfrae of Australia reclaimed her 2009 EagleMan title. Tollakson finished nearly 4 minutes in front the the men after taking the lead early in the bike. Australian, Richie Cunningham finished in second place after a crushing run in which he passed 5 other pro men, and Stanislav Krylov of Russia came in 3rd.
Second place among the women went to American, Tyler Stewart who had the fastest bike time. Finishing 3rd among the women was the defending champion from 2010, Samantha Warriner of New Zealand. All in all, nearly 40 International Professional Triathletes insured that the competition was fierce.
This is a true test of both your physical and mental toughness. Please do not consider entry unless you have properly prepared and trained for this challenging event. The conditions are both demanding and challenging; heat, winds, choppy river, and no shade… strikingly similar to the Ford Ironman Championship in Kona, so please train accordingly.
The EagleMan Aqua Velo event, which runs concurrently with the 70.3, has been named the 2011 and 2012 USAT Mid-Atlantic Regional Aqua Velo Championship event. Participants will swim 1.2 miles and bike 56 miles.
