The Warm Up (Head Coach Editorial)

Dear Members,

It was an incredible season in Europe for our team, we had 11 members racing at the ironman 70.3 world champs, and 1 athlete the full ironman world champs. Pleased to report everyone had a good day. Another highlight was the fact that we placed #1 in the Asian clubs ranking of ironman at the 70.3 world champs

We are now in between seasons, the final prep is here for the laguna Phuket Triathlon while some other athletes have started their training for the 2024 season.

Now onto the big news, there are strong rumors that Ironman 70.3 Bangsaen will be back on February 18th, we have prepared a training programme in case it becomes official, meanwhile, keep on training hard
 

Enjoy your training,
Vinnie Santana
ironguides Head Coach
