Vasque is proud to announce Chris Miller, sales manager for the US, competed and won the Ironman 70.3 Executive Challenge (XC) in Switzerland. Miller finished the race, which consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1 mile run, with a time of 5:13:28.
The location, Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland offered up a challenging course with cold water temperatures for the swim and hilly ascents for the bike and run portion of the race. The bike portion also afforded breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps and long, fast flats where racers could gain speed.
The crowd support was amazing, states Miller. They were lined up on the hills just like the Tour de France, ringing cowbells and cheering. My ears are still ringing from it.
With this win in Switzerland, Miller qualified to compete in the World Championship in Kona this Fall where he will be competing against some of the best athletes in the field.
Vasque and Red Wing Shoe Company are completely behind me and are supporting me in this endeavor, says Miller. Its truly an honor to be representing these great brands and our country in these races.
