OutRival Racing athletes raced really well this weekend!! The Buffalo Springs 70.3 (aka hotter-and-hillier-than-heck-half Ironman) in Lubbock is one of the toughest races around here.
Ana Rivero Lemus had a great race with a 33:38 1.5K swim, 3:12 56-mile bike, and a steady and strong run for a total time of 6:28:14. Ana stuck to her race plan and finished really well!
