For the 25-29 age group we had a tremendous group of gals kicking booty from the swim to the run. Miss Erin had the fastest swim of the group in a rockin' 27 minutes and changed and finished 11th in the group, not too bad for a girl with a slow leak on the bike! Hailey takes the cake for the fast gal of the group on the bike with the 4th fastest bike and ended up 7th in the AG. Miss Rosy capped off the day with the fastest run split for the 25-29 women and was 3rd at the end of the day. We had three gals doing their first or second half Ironman and they took it out in true pink form, congrats to Susan who had a PR, Sarah and Kate who were in the top 3rd of the age group! Lara was out there and had a breakthrough swim and was able to take the 15th fastest run of the day for the ladies 25-29. Way to push it Lara!

Hitting the finish line first.Next up we had Pia who had her first race back after her collarbone break last year. Pia finished 7th in the AG and had the 4th best bike...welcome back lady!
Pia, making it look easy.
Ariane, AKA tough as nails biker chic, took the 2nd fastest bike split of the day and was 9th in the AG overall. Jill arrived at Wildflower so crammed in a car that I could barely see her! Jill took on the race this year and finished strong despite having not trained as much as she would have liked.

Onto the Olympic at Wildflower! Saturday saw even clearer skies and warmer temperatures. We had 6 ladies out there and boy did they show 'em what we're made of! Leishia took the fastest swim of the day in 21 minutes! Just call her a mermaid :) Kelly was able to take 2nd in her group of 20-24 and grab a podium spot but was a bit disappointed with the day as the med tent and not the win awaited her at the finish. Kelly- nicely done, way to keep the focus. Our n
ew member Erica was able 
to take 2nd in the 30-34 AG and had a blistering bike, nice job on the podium first time in Pink! Alli was able to take the 6th fastest bike in 
the 40-44 AG and Vicki pulled in a 14th place AG finish in the ladies 50-54. Liz B also took part in the Olympic relay.Congrats to all the ladies for a fantastic weekend!
