Super Gina takes 2nd at IMUSA



Gina Kehr battled a talented field, a challenging course, and horrific
weather conditions to place 2nd overall at IMUSA.

IMUSA features a two-lap bike course which finishes with a 10 mile gradual
climb into what were ferocious headwinds.  Gina appears to be the only
competitor to have raced the 2nd lap as fast as the first, which is again
interesting given M2's belief in strength and threshold training as opposed
to the bland amorphous high mileage approach that deadens so many legs 
out there.

1st out of the water, 4th off of the bike, and 2nd across the finish
line, a scant 3 minutes back of 13-time Ironman winner Heather Fuhr,
who ran an amazing 3hr'04' marathon on flooded roadways.  While Gina was 
gunning for her first win at IM, to finish so close to a top performance
by a champion like Heather is indeed very impressive.  3rd Place overall
was this year's IM New Zealand champion, Joanna Lawn.
