Congrats to an Iron Woman

Published by adam under Sponsor

We wanted to congratulate our good friend Holly Bennett from Gu.  She competed and kicked butt in the Ironman Coeur d’ Alene in Idaho last weekend.  She finished in 12 hr 18 min.  Good enough for 21st place in her division out of 177.  Great Job!
