Tom Finch continues to defy expectations and inspire athletes of all ages. His outstanding 3rd place finish in the 75-79 age group at the Santa Cruz Ironman is a testament to dedication, smart training, and the power of never giving up on your dreams.
The Santa Cruz Ironman is known for its challenging course, with ocean swells, coastal winds, and rolling hills that test even the most seasoned athletes. Tom not only completed this grueling race but dominated his age group with a performance that would be impressive for athletes half his age.
Age is just a number. Every day I get on my bike, I feel like I'm 25 again. The key is consistency, listening to your body, and surrounding yourself with people who support your goals.
Tom's bike split was particularly impressive, clocking the 3rd fastest time in his age group on the 70.3-mile course. His training regime, supported by the expert mechanics and fitting services at Leucadia Cyclery, has clearly paid dividends in his performance.
