At the World Ironman Championships in Hawaii, the conditions were super hot and humid. SCTA had 4 racing over the 2 days of action. This race takes a bit of your soul and for the 4 athletes racing there's was no exception. It is one of those races that everyone wants to gain a start and only a given few get that opportunity. there were a few hiccups with each of the athletes preps leading into the race, but they all had done what they could to get on that start line in the best possible shape they could. Great races from which saw Greg Bush 12th 70-74 in 14:06:55, Angela Vinnicombe 102nd Place 40-44 Years Female in 11:58:43, Lauren Murphy 159th 40-44 Years Female in 12:53:47 and Andrew Schmidt 308th Place 35-39 Years Male in 10:46:24.
