Breakaway Athlete Qualifies for Kona in His First Ironman

After a brutally hot and windy day in Tempe, AZ, many of the 2,000 triathletes were happy simply to finish the race. Marty Taylor, on the other hand, was working hard to achieve his goal of qualifying for Kona on his very first try at the Ironman distance. Not exactly an ideal weather day to complete 140.6 miles of swimming, cycling, and running, but having put in months of solid training, Marty punched his ticket to the Ironman World Championships in his first Ironman by finishing 5th in his age group. He placed 40th overall on a day when almost 400 participants weren't as fortunate to find the finish line. Breakaway Training would like to congratulate Marty on his performance at Ironman Arizona. All his hard work had paid off and he's going to Kona. Read Marty's blog post about his Ironman Arizona race here.
