STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

“I almost pulled out this morning… I’m pretty glad I didn’t”

That was a good decision by Lucy Charles ahead of The Championship in Samorin, Slovakia on Saturday. I can think of at least 30,000 reasons why… Having won Challenge Lisboa and IRONMAN Lanzarote, Lucy extended her winning run to three with a stunning victory only sealed in the last kilometre of the run at the amazing x-bionic sphere venue.

So, next up a decent break and rest? No! Watch my interview with the champ to find out more.
