Emma-Kate Lidbury wins Ironman 70.3 Texas
Results from Ironman 70.3 Texas and ICAN Marbella
Emma-Kate Lidbury would take her 5th Ironman 70.3 title this weekend at Ironman 70.3 Texas, just a week after a shoulder dislocation had ruled her out of Ironman 70.3 Oceanside. A further seven days recovery was all it would take for Lidbury to put her injury frustrations behind her and win ahead of Kelly Williamson and Caitlin Snow. Will Clarke was also in action.
Over in Spain, Joe Skipper was racing a major triathlon for the first time this year and Nico Munoz Ward would be dusting off the cobwebs after a year out with a shoulder-knacker at ICAN Marbella.
Check out the weekend results!

Joe Skipper has marked himself out as one of the best young talents on the circuit after his iron-distance debut at Challenge Barcelona resulted in a 5th place and a stunning time of 8:23:57. He will surely start as one of the favourites in this race.
