IRONMAN 70.3 EAGLEMAN MERCHANDISE IS ON SALE! LIMITED QUANITIES ARE AVAILABLE.
Welcome to the 17th annual 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 2013 Ironman World Championship in Kona (30 slots) and the 2013 Ironman Championship 70.3 in Lake Las Vegas (40 slots).
This year’s race promises to be another great, world-class event, packed full of a stellar field of Pros from around the world and loads of excitement.
In 2012, reigning, and three-time Ironman World Champion, Craig “Crowie” Alexander won the men’s division with a time of 3:44:57, overtaking the 2011 Ironman 70.3 EagleMan Champion T.J. Tollakson, who finished in 3rd place behind Greg Bennett. 34-year-old Meredith Kessler of San Francisco competed at EagleMan for the first time, and finished the Womens Champion with a time of 4:12:40, defeating the 2011 defending Champion, Mirinda Carfrae, who dropped out of the race during the bike due to an illness. Kessler will be back in 2013 to defend her title!
“This was my first visit to the City of Cambridge for EagleMan and I definitely plan to be back next year to defend my 2012 title,” said Kessler. “The course was challenging, but the volunteers and this city are first class.”
“The EagleMan course was everything I heard it would be…tough,” said Crowie. “The challenging part of a flat course is having to pedal and run at full strength the entire time without being able to coast. Overall, I had a good performance and am glad that I could be part of such a classy race this year.”
Crowie has been named one of Inside Triathlon Magazine’s “10 Greatest Male Iron-Distance Triathletes of All Time,” one of Inside Triathlon Magazine’s “15 Greatest Male Triathletes of All Time- Period,” and Competitor Magazine’s “2009 Male Triathlete of the Year,” is a three-time Ironman World Champion (2008, 2009, 2011), two-time Ironman 70.3 World Champion (2006 & 2011) and three-time Australian Long Course Champion (2004, 2006, 2010). From 2004-2010, he landed 27 half Ironman distance overall victories.
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 2013 and 2014 USAT Mid-Atlantic Regional Aqua Velo Championship event for the third and fourth year in a row. Participants will swim 1.2 miles and bike 56 miles.
