Ironman Texas, Portland Half Marathon, Tempe International Triathlon

Tempe International Tri May 2014Great weekend of racing! Ironman Texas is in the books for Colton Van Wagoner and Riley Wardrop—their first iron-distance race. Colton finished in 11:19 and Riley finished in 15:42! Pay special attention to Colton’s splits for those of you racing an Ironman later this year. This is a perfectly balanced Ironman race.

Colton’s splits:
Swim: 1:08
Bike: 5:58
Run: 4:03
Both transitions under 5 min

In Portland, OR, Galina Kelly ran the Portland ½ Marathon. She finished in 1:44 setting a PR by over 10 min and taking 6th in her AG.

And finally, nice to have a little bit of cloud cover this year for the Tempe International Triathlon. We enjoyed several PR’s, podium placings, and even Otter Pops! Congratulations to all our athletes!
