1st woman finisher

It needed 3 editions to have a woman finisher of the Iberica-Traversa. Congratulations to Irena Sosinska who finished this challenging edition with mud, lot’s of wind and closed hotels in an amazing time of 8 days 21 hours and 22 minutes.
#TransAmBikeRace veterans know Irena from 2016 when she finished TABR in 24 days.
What’s next?

And a big thank to Lucy Rusjan #rusjanshop for the reliable bike bags that kept Irenas equipment and her sleeping bag dry and the bike light.
