On June 27, 2019, Peaks Coaching Group athlete Geir Omarsson, coached by Master Coach Dr. Chris Myers, won the Iceland Extreme Triathlon.
Braving a 3km open water swim with temperatures of 52 degrees F, Geir exited the water in the top third. He was able to cover the 180km bike course in 5:11. The hilly course was marred by wind gusts of 12-15 mph coming off the coast line. This big split put him 3 minutes behind the race leader. Geir easily covered this time split in the initial miles of the run. He ran over 1350m of ascent during the 26 mile course. With this effort, Geir set a course record of 10:09.43 and taking the overall win.
Great job, Geir!!!!
