Congratulations to our Belinda Granger for winning Ironman 70.3 Hawaii today! (Swim: 27:08, Bike: 2:27:18, run 1:34:57, finishing @ 4:33:16)

Ceepo's Tim Marr finishes 4th @4:14:11!

Great job, Team Ceepo!
Here's a quote from the article on Ironman's website:

... In the women's field, two-year running Ironman 70.3 Hawaii champion Samantha McGlone was bested by 11-time Ironman-distance champion Belinda Granger. Granger came out of the water second behind the Big Island's Bree Wee, who posted the best swim time of the day in 26:36.

But Granger scorched the bike course in 2:27:18, with McGlone fighting back with a 2:30:05 split. Wee was third off the bike but dropped out shortly after the beginning of the run.

Granger took off onto the run course and never looked back, finishing the day in 4:33:16, with a run split of 1:34:57.

It is essential for me to have a bike that not only fits me perfectly but also feels good to ride. This enables me to be the best and fastest that I can be. Ceepo ticks all of these boxes for us.”

Here's a comment from CEEPO's Nobuyuki "Joe" Tanaka:

“I am very happy to have an athletes the caliber of Belinda and Justin racing on Ceepo bikes. Belinda has proved she is one of the fastest female cyclists in the sport today and I hope now she is aboard Ceepo bikes she can ride even faster!
