The Ironman 70.3 Augusta race was held on September 26 and my oh my has Twitter been blowing up on this topic! It’s one of those races that you gotta tune in for because they keep you just at the edge of your seat, rooting for your country representative.<\/p>\n

And yesterday was no different! A Dubai-based professional triathlete, Filipe Azevedo<\/a> had us all lowkey nibbling on our fingernails as he was crossing the finish lines at Ironman in Augusta, Georgia in the US.<\/p>\n

Azevedo pulled through against his competitors at Ironman 70.3 Augusta<\/h2>\n

With a fire in his belly from his latest performance at 70.3 Worlds, it was enough to fuel his wins at Augusta. The competition against Timothy Reed and Jason West was stellar but Azevedo pulled through! He has the fastest time at swim, second fastest at biking, and at running but that was enough to guarantee a win, averaging a 3:39:02 time for all 3 as opposed to 3:40:02 and 3:43:21. SO CLOSE!<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Azevedo also pulled off an incredible finish at Ironman 70.3<\/a> which was held at Kite Beach! Ironman 70.3 Dubai is an international competition that offers 50 qualifying slots for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship 2021 in Utah, which Azevedo came in 10th place for. And just a week later, he won 70.3 Augusta. Colour us impressed!<\/p>\n
