Another weekend full of triathlons that ranged from the Ironman North American Championship in Texas to marathons and half marathons Kentucky Derby way and many others.
What an amazing way to wrap up April. Big Sexy Racing went out of the gates strong the first weekend, and did not slow down through the entire month, even as we passed the finish line of April.
So lets take a look at all of the great stuff that happened during the fun filled, adventure packed race weekend.
We started it off with Pam Wilson doing the Bike Luck Charity Ride! What an amazing ride to be able to help kids get into summer camps. Amazing way to pay it forward while training for your upcoming races!
Teammates Courtney, Tanner and Hugo ran into each. Always love meeting up with other teammates!
In the Cary Du Classic, Courtney Mickel, took 1st Age Group with a finish of 2:01:03. What a way to roll rock it out on the course, of course always have to love riding on the Reynolds Race wheels that only help improve the engine that is built from all of the training!
Texas heated up again this weekend with Ironman Texas, the Ironman North American Championship. Of course, Big Sexy Racing went into it strong and pulled off some amazing finishes and results.
Not to mention bringing home 2nd place in Division 2 in the TriClub. This team never ceases to amaze.
It is always great getting to see other teammates on the course and having some there cheering you on too!
