  • The last racers are coming across the line here today and boy has it been interesting. Challenging. Cooling. Refreshing...
  • Australia's Melissa Rollison and Germany's Michael Raelert, favourites before the race, both took the crown in style.
  • The day started off calm, with low cloud with rain clouds pending. Athletes were 50 km into the bike when the heavens opened and down it came…in buckets, cats and dogs. It made for a very interesting race with slower bike splits than usual and some super quick run splits.
  • Perhaps the performance of the day, former 6 time Ironman World Champion Badmann didn’t hang around today either. It looks like the sprightly Swiss 44year old is back to the form that saw her post the fastest female bike split.
  • Men’s winner Michael Raelert summed up Badmann’s performance perfectly, “There really is no age limit today on being a successful triathlete, he said of the 44 year old.”
  • I don't think we need say anything more than that! Great job everyone! That's a wrap!

  • Natascha Badmann, 2nd here today "There really is no age on being a successful triathlete": Michael Raelert.
