McMahon and Kessler win at Ironman St. George
A tough day for the Brits racing
In its first outing as a 70.3 race, Brent McMahon and Meredith Kessler would battle in Utah to take the Ironman 70.3 North-American Championships and with it a share of the $75,000 and the large 1,500 KPR on offer.
The title and prize money had attracted an extremely strong field, that also included British names in the PRO race such as the reigning Ironman World Champion Leanda Cave, Emma-Kate Lidbury, Lesley Paterson, Joel Jameson and Paul Amey. As things developed, the Brits would find it hard to make an impact against the motivated field of North Americans competing for the title.
Bracht and Csomor victorious at Ironman Los Cabos

Also in action was Paul Amey who was using this race as a ‘warm-up’ for Ironman Texas, whilst Yvette Grice would be putting herself through a stern test in the heat after a cold British Winter of training. Find out how they got on and how the race unfolded.
