Who Is This Year’s Iron Lions?
posted (September 1, 2014)
The 15TH annual Lionman triathlon was held on Sunday morning on Marine Parade in Belize City.

The lionmen and women competed in a 1,500 meter swim, then 40 kilometer ride, and finally, a 10 kilometer run - which are the international parameters for a full triathlon.

7News was there to see the competitors in action. Here's how it looked:

Defending champions Kent "Bob" Gabourel Jr. and Shalini Zabaneh were the winners in the male and female categories and are the 2014 Lionman and Woman, respectively. By our count, this is Shalni's eight first place finish in the event. Team Coast Guard was first in the team event. That team consisted of swimmer, Alma Pinelo, cyclist Joel Borland, and runner James McFoy.
