Craig Alexander, Newton Sponsored Athlete, wins again in Hawaii!!

Congratulations to Craig Alexander, winner of this year's Hawaii Ironman. Craig in only the fourth person to win the Ironman two years in a row. Not only has Craig won the last two World Championships wearing the Newton Stability Racer, but he is one of the most pleasant and humble athletes we have ever met. In August we had the chance to meet and talk with him in Boulder during a Newton Running event and there was no top athlete less in awe of himself than Craig. He spoke to us of running in Austalia, where he spends half of the year, cycling through the mountains of Colorado, where he spends the other half, and swimming in a masters in Boulder, all part of the training he does forty hours each week, day-in and day-out. He balances out his life with his wife and two children, which take up all his non-training hours!
