September Rocked!

September was a great month! Not only because is was my birthday month (the 30 days of Jennifer!) but because some IronClad athletes posted some pretty cool performances:


Dextro Energy Triathlon- ITU World Championship Grand Finale Gold Coast

Nice solid performance for Kevin Collington! He was 3rd US athlete and 37th overall in a CRAZY fast race with the fastest men in the sport. Kevin is currently ranked 57th in the ITU WCS rankings.

Ironman Wisconsin

Larry H…. congratulations you are an Ironman! This was Larry’s first Ironman and he even got to sleep in his own bed the night before. How lucky is he! It was awesome to track Larry’s performance and see him come in under 12:30. Awesome job Larry!!

Meat Pie Triathlon (cannot help but giggle at that name….wondered if they had meat pie in the food tent post race?)

Congratulations to Andrea A for her first AG win and a really nice overall finish. To think this was only a “for fun training day” you gotta like when some hardware comes you way. Good job girl!

Escape to Miami Olympic Distance

A Wahoo to a new Olympic distance PR for Rose L. Looks like that new Retul bike fit at OutSpokin has you dialed in. Next stop Ironman Florida!

Ironman 70.3 Augusta

What a race! I went up there are a spectator/cheerleader/coach and got to stalk/heckle all from my 30+ pound mountain steed Mt. Shasta!

I must give a job well done and praise to following folks:

Tracy R- You did it. You successfully completed your very first 70.3. All the hard work had you ready to enjoy the day. I know it was a challenge at some points but that’s what makes the longer distance races so satisfying….the mental strength you gain from not giving up and handling tough situations.

Marc & Erin S- Team Seaverson brought it on this day. Focus training has paid off nicely and as a result new 70.3 PRs. So happy for you both and glad I got to see it!

Krista E- Awesome work! You made it look so easy and to think we just had you train right through this race. Congrats on your new PR!!!

Karen A- WonderWoman Rocks J Lil Karen you have had a year full of challenges but handle them with the strength and tenacity of a 350lb. Lineman. Your determination and cheerful spirit are a joy to be around. Good job on getting another one done.

Kevin C. Nice work on your first 70.3 race. Good work with a 3:55 and 7th Overall finish. Next stop a fun trip to Mexico for the last ITU race of the year then on to Ironman 70.3 World Championship!!

Season is starting to wind down so stay tuned for some more IronClad performances!

As for me its Kona time! Will update with some events from the week as well as a post race recap with hopefully a positive outcome.
