It was tough conditions for Next Level athletes at yesterdays 70.3 and Ironman events but the tough got going.

Without exception all 14 athletes racing performed really well and although there were few PB performances everyone dug deep to finish off their races. Special mention to Bill Thornbury 3rd in the 60-64 age group and he will be joining me in Kona, Sian Reece finishing 5th in a tough age group and only narrowly missing a Kona spot. It is just a matter of time Sian. Also well done to Brad Clarke in the 70.3 with a 6th place and a spot at the world 70.3 Championships in Zel Austria in August
