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! 👏🔥
