Scott DeFilippis

Scott raced his way to a top ten result at Iroman Florida. Scottie had a well balanced race with a 56 min swim, 4:36 bike, and 2:48 run. Overcoming his disrupted season due to the broken collarbone in July, Scottie showed he is back to top form and even better than before. Scott bested his time of 8:43 from 2010 by over 15 minutes finishing in 8:27. Way to race Scottie! The entire team is so proud of Scott's hard work and can't wait to watch as he continues to improve. Please keep an eye out for Scott's blog to be posted later this week where he will elaborate on his race both positives and negatives in more detail.

Caroline Steffen

Dave and Xena didn't have luck on their side in Vegas. Keep an eye out for their blogs to hear what happened and get some of the wisdom they garnered from their experiences. It is often said that after a diffcult race you learn more about yourself than after a win. Dave and Xena will recover and get ready to race the 70.3 Asian Champs in Phuket. I wouldn't beat against them avenging their race in Vegas and achieving a pair of podiums next month in Phuket.
