Norbert 'Iron Man' Nix Completes Augusta Race

Norbert Nix's Medal

Kudos to TRIPLE TIGERS GM NORBERT NIX, who completed the IRONMAN 70.3 AUGUSTA, GA on SUNDAY (9/24). If there was ever a doubt about NIX's level of badassery, it can be noted that completing this course required him to complete a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and 13.1-mile -- or half-marathon length -- run, in consecutive order.

"I will make it through the 90 degree heat," shared NIX via FACEBOOK prior to the start of the race. "I will do it for my friend, SCOTTY 'MIAMI' YONKOVICH, who passed much too early. My heart is sad, but he inspires me today. I race in his honor." NIX finished the race in six hours, 24 minutes, 26 seconds, placing him at 66th in his division and 1250th overall. Congratulate NIX on the accomplishment here.
