The ARX-sponsored Timex Multisport Team came to race at this year’s Ironman Florida on November 7th. There were only four members attending the event, yet the team produced three top-ten finishes. Tamara Kozulina, fresh off an injury that prevented her from finishing this year’s World Championships, pulled off an amazing day. After a solid bike split, Tamara finished the day with a second-fastest 3:06 marathon, earning her second place overall. Also racing in the women’s field was Gabriela Loskotova. Gabriela put forth a solid effort, good enough for 9th place. The day’s big surprise was Timex celebrity, Tim Hola. Racing as an age grouper, Tim pulled off an 8:47:23 finish, earning him a spot in the top ten overall. Like Tamara, Tim also competed at this year’s World Championships just weeks earlier.
