Vicki's Going to Worlds!

Last September in Oklahoma City, Speedster Vicki Bate qualified for Team USA Worlds Long Course Triathlon Event, to be held in Immenstadt, Germany on August 1st, 2010.

“I am very proud and honored to be among the most elite athletes in the country representing the United States of America at this global event.”


Vicki is currently training diligently to achieve her personal best and is positive she will be ready for this challenge. This event will consist of a 2.4 mile swim, an 81 mile bike ride with 6,946 feet of climbing and an 18 mile run.


This wonderful opportunity represents Vicki's years of hard work, determination, and commitment. She could not have done it without the love and support of friends, family, and community. A special thanks to Lyman Jones of MultiBenefits, Debbie Lamperti, Dr. Jeanne O’Connell of Sylvania Institute.


Beyond her success in sports, Vicki is a mother to twin boys and has overcome obstacles that come from having Crohn's and celiac disease. From there comes her belief that nutrition, self awareness and life balance are key elements for staying healthy.

The Speed Shop wishes Vicki all the luck on this amazing journey.
