A lot of top age group athlete wonder how they would fare in the professional ranks, Kyle Buckingham took that plunge. After being crowned the overall age group champion at the 2013 IRONMAN World Championship, Kyle turned pro. It didn't take long for Kyle to prove he belonged in the pro field, finishing runner-up at the IRONMAN African Championships in his pro debut, and then winning IRONMAN Lake Placid later that year. In 208, Kyle realized a dream, winning the IRONMAN African Championship on home soil in South Africa.

We are very excited to be working with Kyle as he continues to set his sights on IRONMAN titles, and a top finish at the IRONMAN World Championship.
