Scott will be racing on the Florida Panhandle this Sunday. The race will be flat and fast and perfect test for Scottie. He has raced this Ironman last year and hopes to improve on his result from 2010. After a disrupted season with his bike crash and broken collarbone, he is excited and ready to race this late season Ironman. The swim will as a solid, and Scottie will test all the hard swim training he has been doing in the pool. On the bike, Scottie will try to work with the other professionals to keep up a hard pace on this flat windy course. Then on the run, Scottie will unleash his killer run speed and unleash the fast split we all know he is capable of doing. Scott will have his work cut out for him with a very strong competitive field of professional men including Dirk Bockel, Eduardo Sturla, and Christian Brader. Good luck Scottie bring home a podium!
