Tracy has been an TRIATHLETIX athlete for several years, and when she stepped up to do Ironman, she did it right by making a full commitment. There's not enough space on our server to list her accomplishments, so let's just touch on a few favorite moments:

On the way to Ironman, Tracy raced a bunch of other events including the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. Her training season was built around the primary goal of Ironman, and it was agreed that everything else would just fall into place. Malibu was a must for Tracy as she had done it several times before, she trains in that area all the time, and she could add to LA Tri Club's bid for another championship. Malibu fell at the end of a pretty big week - in the preceding days, Tracy swam nearly 10,000 yards, rode almost 200 hundred miles, and ran nearly 30 miles. The day before the race she rode 60 miles, all hills, and she had to run an additional 10k after she crossed the finish line. Even with all that, Tracy posted a personal record on the day!

This season Tracy has been on another roll with new PRs at Wildflower Long Course and Half Vineman, a couple of podium finishes in open water races, and more. One of the biggest thrills for the TRIATHLETIX coaching staff was to race with Tracy at Xterra Big Bear. We knew the numbers: she had lost some weight, gained some muscle, and reduced body fat. However, we were astounded by the sculpted abs, the defined arms, and the cut legs that sauntered up to registration at Xterra. That Tracy Luebbers girl, she's AWESOME!
