Ironman Texas is a grueling event, attracting top athletes including our own Andrew Horsfall-Turner. 

Andy is no stranger to the Ironman circuit, having competed in numerous triathlons over the years. But this time, he was determined to make an impact and leave his mark.

As expected, Andrew's entry into the water was nothing short of impressive. With a time of 48 minutes and 50 seconds, he set a blistering pace and was the first to emerge from the water.

The run leg of the race is especially brutal, with competitors pushed to their limits. However, Andrew was determined to push through and give it his all. 

As the race progressed, Andrew was edging closer to breaking his own Welsh Long Distance record, a feat that he has been working towards for some time. With sheer determination and pushing himself to his limits, Andrew was able to break the record and set a new time that would act as an inspiration to many.

Despite not securing the top position, Andrew's performance was still admirable. He finished the race in 11th place, clocking in a time of 8 hours, 12 minutes, and 54 seconds. This was a commendable effort, considering the grueling conditions and intense competition.
