Wishing our teammates an amazing 69.1 miles at the Ironman 70.3 Victoria on Sunday! Unfortunately there was a toxic algae bloom that has caused the swim portion to be canceled 😢

Andrea, Brian, and Jason - you are in for a treat of a race! The weather looks great for Sunday and Victoria is a beautiful course! One of our favorites!

“Pacing, Patience, Persistence” - the time trial bike start is going to be enticing - stay in control and ride to your targets, wait until the time is right to unleash the beast on the run course! Go get ‘em! 🚀
