Bio
After a delayed start in the pro ranks due to lack of racing in a pandemic (as well as recovering from her own bout with COVID-19), Ruth Astle has broken through to take two full distance wins, two bike course records, and qualification for both Ironman World Championship races in 2022. Now ranked 30th in the world, Ruth is set to lend both her bike and run abilities toward the attempt for a woman to go Sub8.
