Gossage looking to go 2 places better at Ironman 70.3 Austria
Lucy Gossage will be looking to go two places better than she did at Ironman 70.3 Mallorca recently, at tomorrows Ironman 70.3 Austria where she is once again up against Lisa Hutthaler and Yvonne Van Vlerken, who took the 1-2 positions on their last outing.
The race has been adjusted to a bike-run format, with cold conditions affecting European races across the continent and forcing organisers to adjust the race.

Interview with Mr Versatile Cedric Lassonde
DJ turned triathlete targets XTERRA England
France’s anglophile triathlete, Cedric Lassonde has been labelled ‘Mr Versatile’ in the headlines, due to the wide range of events he competes in across the year. In any given season, Lassonde can be found racing in formats from sprint to Ironman, with XTERRA thrown in. He is rather good at all of them as well!
This year, Cedric plans to target the XTERRA World Championships in Maui, Hawaii and plans for the upcoming XTERRA England race to be a part of those plans. I caught up with Cedric Lassonde for an interview following his unfortunate DNF at the recent Ironman Lanzarote.

Interview: Luke Dragstra takes on the Outlaw Half
Canadian PRO, Luke Dragstra, will start as one of the favourites when he lines up for the Outlaw Half race on 2nd of June. With a win at Challenge Wanaka and an 8:13:00 to his name from Challenge Roth, Dragstra has the kind of pedigree that could make him the winner in Nottingham.
He won’t have it all his own way however, with Craig Twigg another big name on the start list for the ‘little brother’ of the award winning Outlaw race.
Here’s a pre-race interview with Luke Dragstra.
