PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE
At just 25 years old, Lucy Charles-Barclay, broke the 19 year old Kona IRONMAN World Championship swim course record with a time of 48:13, and holds the second fastest time ever done in Kona with a time of 8:36.34.
Lucy boldly made her presence in long-distance triathlon known when she won the 18-24 age group at the 2015 IRONMAN World Championship. Since becoming a pro in 2016, Lucy has won three IRONMAN races, Lanzarote (2017) and South Africa (2018/19), two Challenge Series Championships, and finished as runner-up in 2017, 2018, and 2019 IRONMAN World Championship as well as the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
With her aggressive ‘off the front” racing style, and by re-establishing swim course records at nearly every race she's participated in, Lucy has put the tri world on notice that she is undoubtedly the future of the sport
After so much success this early in her career, Lucy has her sights firmly set on becoming the fastest triathlete ever, and ROKA is excited to contribute to her future achievements by offering the fastest and most technologically advanced swim equipment on the planet.

GEAR UP WITH LUCY'S RACING ESSENTIALS
“The last three years have been an incredible ride, I’ve learned the importance of having good partners to achieve the lofty goals I’ve set. As soon as I dove into the water with the Viper X swimskin in Kona in 2017, I knew I had to race in that suit. I think it comes from my swimming background. You know if a suit feels good as soon as you dive in. I ended up turning in one of my best swim performances ever, so choosing to swim in ROKA swimwear for 2018 and beyond was an easy decision.”
