Race Results

George Nugent Buffington 3rd AG

George Nugent Buffington 3rd AG at the Holiday Classic 10k in Clearwater, FL. This is on the same course at the previous IM 70.3 run and the bridge is a killer. George clicked off 7:06 pace en route to the podium, and that is a smokin' fast time considering the climbs over the bridge.
