2006 Performances in Review

We’d like to toot our own horn this year because we’ve qualified 5 people for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. 5!! In one training group? Yep, the program works. And the cool part is that we’ve helped 3 others raise their level of fitness so they could qualify as well. That makes 8 people in the same swimming pool going to the big dance. Truly impressive, we think.

2006 has been an incredible year for Zone3sports clients.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the Teams results, by the numbers:

Total Number of best times achieved this year: 73
First triathlons or duathlons: 7
First half-Ironman: 4
First Ironman: 5
Total Ironman Triathlon starts/finishes: 28
First Marathons: 4
Total Marathons started/finished: 36
