Hi Squad,
Ironman 70.3 World Championships – Nice
Congratulations to Mark Eaton on an excellent race at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nice. A world‑championship start is a huge accomplishment, and Mark represented the club incredibly well on one of the most iconic courses in the sport.
Ironman Wisconsin & 70.3 Weekend
As of writing, Craig and Matt are still on course at Ironman Wisconsin, working their way through a tough and historic race day.
On Saturday, Mackenzie had a strong race at the Ironman 70.3, kicking off the weekend with a great performance before cheering on the full‑distance athletes today.

Sharon Styles has a 1.5hr Class on Wednesday night. Please let me know if you are interested. She will set up a registration link for the club. Fall 2026 spin classes are virtual! These classes will be live and interactive coached via zoom.
