A huge congratulations to Laura Smith, who recently completed her first full Ironman challenge in Leeds after months of dedicated training.
The challenging course included a 3.8km swim, a 178km bike ride with more than 2,500m of elevation — including three climbs of the notorious Black Hill — followed by a full marathon.
When the swim was cancelled due to blue-green algae, Laura showed great determination by completing the full 3.8km in a local pool the day before. She then tackled the bike leg in 7:50:55, followed by an excellent 4:30:41 marathon, finishing in an impressive overall time of 12:30:58.
A fantastic achievement and a great example of determination and commitment. Well done, Laura!
