Hammer athlete Michelle Bremer takes out her first Ironman win. Michelle literally blew her opponents away with a blistering bike leg of Ironman WA.

Michelle then ran a solid run to record a great win. A newbie professional athlete, after moving here from NZ and giving up her Physio job. Michelle is a great fan of Perpetuem, which she used during the race.  Says Michelle, “I only began doing Ironman four years ago on a social basis”.

Great job Michelle! Congratulations from the team at Hammer Nutrition.
