Championship qualifier. She secured her Ironman slot at Ironman
Australia in April. Hallie had an outstanding race and placed 3rd
in her age-group with a time of 11:23:07! The long and grueling
hours that she put in at the pool, on the bike trainer and in the
cold rainy weather paid off as her swim, bike and run splits were
all very strong. Hallie started her race off with a blazing fast
swim of 56:21!! We are all very proud of Hallie and her
accomplishments and we are excited to see her race in Kona!

second time in a row. In May she raced at St. Croix 70.3, one

bike splits were right up with the professional women. Her
hard work and dedication all winter paid off and we look forward to
supporting Teresa in Kona!
