Paula Raced T100 San Francisco!
Not so surprising spoiler: Another solid race. Frigid winds and strong currents made race day extremely challenging, but Paula took on the iconic Escape course, crushing the punchy hills, and accelerating through the streets of San Francisco to a 6th place finish in an extremely packed field.
While much of triathlon revolves around enduring harsh physical conditions, the mental struggle often becomes the most dominant factor in the battle of endurance.
Despite her struggles, Paula showcased her incredible resilience and determination. Her ability to push through both physical and mental barriers exemplifies her true character and relentless spirit.
Finishing 6th in such a competitive field on a course that doesn't necessarily suit her can be a great lesson for any aspiring triathlete, and often the days that seem the most daunting are the ones that you remember the longest.
Way to go, Paula!
Ansley and Matheus Raced 70.3 Boulder!
TTL Development Team athletes Matheus Menezes and Ansley Queen both endured a tough day at Ironman 70.3 Boulder!
In his first race following his collegiate season Matheus finished first in his age group and third overall! A phenomenal debut in the TTL threads! While his next race is still up in the air, we're psyched to see him enjoying the process and working to elevate his skills to the next level.
Ansley showcased her resilience and grinded through a tough day to finish 13th in just her second race as developing professional! These challenging days are all part of the process and we're stoked to see her come through with a champion's mindset.
The Devo team continues to rise beyond these 'brutal' days and put on a great show. We're always proud of them for persevering, no matter the results! Remember, living that triathlon life means living beyond the numbers and data. What matters is enjoying being outside, being friendly, and being a little better you each day :)
