3 Aggies bear pain for Ironman
By Ashley Glennon
Reporter
Unless you are a triathlete, the thought of bik
ing 120 miles a week, running another 30 and
swimming Five more would seem like cruel phys
ical punishment.
Perhaps it is, but to three Texas A&M stu
dents who have pushed their bodies to the limit
for the past year, their efforts have turned to
gold — or, perhaps iron.
Tim Tetsch, Angie Darby and Bob Talamini
qualified earlier this month to compete in the
Ironman Triathlon World Championship, to be
held in Kona, Hawaii, after completing the
Texas Hill Country Triathlon, Long Course Na
tional Championship, at Canyon Lake near San
Antonio.
“The Ironman is the most prestigious race in
the world,” says Tetsch, a senior management
major from Farmers Branch and treasurer of
the Texas A&M Triathlon Club. “I was both
ecstatic and relieved that I qualified. I reached
my goal.”
Tetsch has been gearing up for the Texas Hill
Country Triathlon since last spring.
“I’ve been riding 100 to 150 miles, running
about 15 miles, and swimming five to six miles
each week,” Tetsch says, “hut now I’m going to
up my riding to at least 200, and my running to
20 miles or more.”
Darby, a senior speech communications majoi
from Conroe and president of the triathlon club,
entered the I fill Country Triathlon with a differ
ent frame of mind.
“I didn’t think I had a chance,” Darby said. "I
didn’t even know I was going to do the race until
right up to the deadline. 1 entered this race on a
fluke.”
Unlike Tetsch who has been training hard for
a year, Darby stepped up her ongoing training
only four weeks before the race.
Darby rode 120 miles per week, ran 30, and
swam four and could not believe that she qual
ified.
“But now that I have, I can’t wait. I'm fired up
and ready to train.”
For Talamini, a senior physical education ma
jor from Houston, the Ironman qualification
came easy. Talamini did not start a hard work
out until the Monday before the race.
“I didn’t have time to work out more,” Tala-
mini said.
Talamini’s usual workout consists of a six to
10-mile run every other day, a 150-milc|*
week hike* ride, and a four to six niilewtl
sw im, he said.

Hershiser
HOUSTON (AP) — Orel
Hershiser was cut from his high
school and college baseball teams.
But spare any pity.
After four straight shutouts,
Hershiser is now nearing the head of
the major league class in scoreless in
nings pitched.
The Los Angeles Dodgers right
hander pitched his fourth shutout in
a row Monday night, allowing four
hits in leading the Dodgers to a 1-0
victory over Houston. That gave him
40 consecutive scoreless innings,
18-/3 innings short of the major-
league record set in 1968 by former
Dodger Don Drysdale.
Hershiser couldn’t make the team
in his first tries at high in Cherry
Hill, N.J. and at Bowling Green Uni
versity. He subsequently became an
all-star both there and in the Na
tional League.
But he’s never pitched as well as
this year, even when he was 19-3 in
1985. The win Monday made him
22-8 this season.
“This is like a dream come true
for me,” said Hershiser, who credits
Manager Tommy Lasorda’s patience
with his development.
“Tommy stayed with me wTen I
came up my first year. He instilled
confidence in me.”
wins despite early adversity
Hershiser could beat Drysdale’s
record with two more starts hut he’d
need to go an extra inning. He
doesn’t believe it will happen.
“Two more shutouts will be
tough,” Hershiser said. “I don’t
think it can be done. I haven’t talked
to Drysdale about the record. If I
throw another shutout, I’ll have
lunch with him.”
Drysdale, now a Dodgers broad
caster, says he’s watched Hershiser
with admiration but has avoided the
subject of the streak.
“I haven’t talked to him about it, I
don’t want to jinx anybody,”
Drysdale said. “lie’s doing things
very well on his own.”
Drysdale pitched six consecutive
shutouts en route to his major
league record.
“Orel’s just been in complete con
trol of his pitches,” Drysdale said.
“He’s in such a groove. He’s worked
so hard, you just like to see him do
well.”
Drysdale sees some similarities to
his streak.
“You just feel in a total groove, it’s
really amazing,” he said. “Plus the
guys behind you have to make the
plays. That’s been happening for
Orel.
