Ironman Weekend 💥
Alan took on Ironman Leeds. Unfortunately, the swim was cancelled, however, he finished strong especially after 10 weeks no running due to injury. Alan was racing for a fantastic cause, raising money for Lowther School in Barns and smashed his fundraising target 💪. The link to donate is still open.
Over in Kalmar, Sweden 🇸🇪, Steve and Kirill both took on the Ironman and smashed the sub-10-hour barrier!
Huge congratulations Steve, Kirill & Alan! 👏🔥

Over in Italy, Andrew, Kirill and Roberto took on Challenge Cesenatico — a solid early-season hit out with strong performances from both athletes.
