Michael Weiss (also know as Wiki Miki) is coming of an impressive 2011 season. Falling short at the IM World’s in Kona, he redeemed himself with an impressive overall victory later in the month at the Xterra World Championship. Michael, Austrian born, comes from a mountain biking background where he was crowned the U-23 European Championship Title in 2003. Later he represented his native country in the 2004 Olympics. He has since gone on to claim many podium and top spots in Xterra, half and iron distance races. He is also one of a handful of athletes to complete an iron distance race in under eight hours.
Lesley Paterson, a native Scotwoman, now residing, training and coaching in San Diego is Michaels’s counterpart. She is the 2011 female Xterra World Champion. You may rember Lesley was a previous TCSD Club guest speaker after her impressive second place finish at Oceanside 70.3 earlier this year. 2011 has been a break out year for Leslie with many top of the podium finishes.
