Fly Tri Racing

We had huge day for the Fly Tri Racing crew at Ruidoso 70.3 in New Mexico 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

70.3 miles is already hard. But then add mountains, elevation, and racing at 6,000- 7,000 feet. 😤

Ruidoso adds a whole different layer of difficulty. The air is thinner, pacing matters more, and every part of the race asks you to stay patient and tough. This race is no joke.

Strong performances across the board:

Derek Kulach- 5:04:59, 9th AG
Donivan Flowers - 6:27:55
Shawn McMillan - 8:26:21
Coach Sarah Hankla- 5:35:01, 6th AG

And a big shoutout to Steven Roberts for taking on his first 70.3 attempt. Sometimes the first one teaches you exactly what you need for the next time.. and he’s definitely got the next one. 💪

Proud of this crew for showing up, showing out, competing, and representing FTR well.

Angel Martin didn’t just win the women’s race… she won the whole thing. 🔥

At the Sunrise Olympic Triathlon in Shreveport, Louisiana, Angel finished in 2:22:58 and took 1st overall across the entire field.🥇

The day was far from easy with water temps around 86-87 degrees. Her core temperature was high early and she could feel it affecting her power. It took about 15 minutes on the bike before she settled in, started clearing the effort from the swim, and was able to push again.

Then the run course brought steep hills where the downhill doesn’t even feel like a reward.

Angel handled the heat and managed the effort, staying tough to came away with the overall win.
