Great Ironman Florida results for all3sports
First of all, congrats to all the racers who competed and completed the race. We saw many old friends and made some new ones as well.
Cheers to Laura Sophiea, Kevin Moats, Lauren Cortjens, and Jeff Caplan.
Laura and Kevin came off of strong finishes at Kona World Championships to recover at Florida. Are you kidding?!? These guys dominated the course and both won their Age Groups in outstanding fashion. Kevin missed a sub 10 hour race time by only 6 seconds, at 10:00:05. Laura dominated her Age Group from the start, having the fastest swim, bike, and run in her division and finishing with a 10:27:25. This earns her another trip to Kona.
Some interesting facts on the race and these two athletes:
Out of 2423 participants -
| Laura | Kevin | |
| Placing Overall | 252 | 160 |
| Swim Placing Overall | 221 | 98 |
| Bike Placing Overall | 383 | 83 |
| Run Placing Overall | 332 | 296 |
Lauren and Jeff did some very fine racing of their own. Lauren’s first 140.6 distance race - 11:13:17, 9th in Age Group. Jeff almost PR’s this race, 12:22:09, after doing a PR at South Carolina Half.
Great job guys!

Ironman Florida from the all3sports corner of Surf Drive
Written by Alex Poon
So after years of going down to yell and scream for the racers of Ironman Florida, I’ve decided to write my own race report. Warning: This is a bit long. For those who don’t want to read it, I’ll summarize: To the customers of of all3sports, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your racing.
The plan is always to leave Thursday morning, early, so that I can get down to PCB before dark and actually get checked into the Gulf Crest Condos, unloaded and have some dinner. As always, something always breaks with one of the computers about 10 minutes before I need to leave and that sets me back by about 1-2 hours. All in all, the drive down is not bad and I get there with some light in the sky. Rudy and Lauren C. showed up and then Morgan shortly after and we all went to dinner. This year I decided that I would actually do some training and brought bike and trainer. Unfortunately, I ate too much at dinner and almost lost it on the trainer ride I did on the balcony. Tip #1, don’t do one of Coach Dan’s workouts on a full stomach. (more…)
