Barry Davie contested his first ever 70.3 Ironman out in Lanzarote. In his debut he put in an impressive performance, covering the distance in a very good time of 5hrs 58mins 35secs, with Kevin Davie no stranger to the island, coming home in 5hrs 29mins 54secs.

The Barcelona Ironman saw Steven Honeyman enjoy his first full distance for the club, but not his first full distance race. Steven has enjoyed many ironman distances in the past, so is no stranger to what to expect. Steven crossed the line in a magnificent time off 11hrs 43mins 19secs.
