Millie Crane absolutely smashed her Ironman PB in Hamburg, completing the race in 11:21:46 - a phenomenal 52 minutes faster than Barcelona in 2022.

Millie's brilliant 13th category position qualifies her for the World Championship event in Nice this September. Good Luck Millie!

Millie's partner in crime and friend of the club Lewis Cooper (pictured right) also pulled off a fantastic performance achieving his target of a sub 10 hour Ironman, finishing in 9:50:23. Well done Lewis!
