Antonio Ferreira da Sliva of Brazil looked strong exiting the water in his XTERRA Velocity ++ speedsuit at Ironman Cozumel on Sunday. Antonio had the ninth fastest swim that day and the fastest in his age group at a quick 46:00. Overall, he also placed ninth and first in his age group with an impressive 9:02:34 –... a P.R. and good for a spot at the 2010 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii! It will be Antonio’s 7th time racing Kona.

Congratulations to Brendan Wolters of San Diego, California who also qualified for the 2010 Ironman World Championship. Brendan swam in his XTERRA Velocity ++ speedsuit and finished in 10:24:34 - good for 3rd place in the 25-29 age group!
