More Athletes Leave Team TBB

In addition to Caroline Steffen, Jodie Swallow and James Cunnama, Irish pro triathlete Eimear Mullan has decided to leave. Although she was only with the team for a year, Mullan had her most successful season to date on the team, including wins at Ironman 70.3 Salzburg and Ironman 70.3 UK. She explained her departure on her blog, “When Brett decided to leave the team I was left with some decisions to make about how to move forward in 2014. I decided that the best option for me was to move on from the team and from Brett.”
British pro triathlete Dan Halksworth announced his departure from the team just a day before Mullan after a successful three-year run under Sutton and team co-founder Alex Bok. Halksworth announcement was also made on his personal blog where he commented: “Brett and Alex gave me an opportunity to do what I love doing and without them I would not have got on to the top of the podium….After spending a lot of time away from family and friends in my search to be the best I can be its time for me to spend a bit more time at home.”
