The Greendale Swim Club have an amazing Masters Squad, full of swimmers aiming for their own personal goals...Ironman Taupo was one of these.

Masters profile: Sarah and Andrew West

Taupo Ironman 2020

Sarah: Swim 1.30 - Bike 7.01 - Run 5.49 (14.43 - Full marathon)

Andrew: Swim 1.09 - Bike 6.00 - Run 4.30 (11.54 - Full marathon)

"After watching Andrew do a few Ironman races Sarah decided this was the year to join in!

We both needed plenty of work on our swimming and confidence in the water for Sarah after an asthma attack in Ahuriri.  Joining the Masters squad has made a huge difference for the pair of us, although Gary says our swimming is still a work in progress!

A good day in Taupo for both of us, battling bee stings, stomach cramps and wind!"
