Race morning sunrise on Parris Island.

Despite the cold and rain, the spring racing season is already off to a great start for Team Ironworks!   On March 15th Karla Cook set a new personal best time at the Parris Island Triathlon, consistent winter training pays off!  The same day on the other side of the world, Steve Rees finished strong at the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon over the “short distance.”  Only in Abu Dhabi is a 100km bike considered to be a short distance!  Ironman South Africa training kicks off next month.

Steve Rees finishes strong!

And last but definitely not least, congratulations to Brittany Banker for finally smashing the 2 hour barrier for the half marathon!  It was only a question of when it was going to happen.  Next up for Brittany is the Rev3 Age Group Championships in Knoxville.

Congratulations to everyone, keep up the great work!

Brittany’s final time, with an extra .15 miles just to make sure it was official!
