Al Sultan and Moller win at Ironman Lanzarote
Graves and Wolfe take 4th in Lanza
Faris Al-Sultan and Kristen Moller were victorious in Lanzarote at the Ironman race, in a race that would prove a brutal test for those that competed.
Writing headlines for the Brit’s and Irish were Philip Graves (4th) and the returning Joyce Wolfe (also 4th). Graves crossed the line having just missed out on 3rd place after being run down by Kirill Kotsegarov in the final stages, whilst Wolfe reminded everyone of what she is about with a cracking return to iron-distance racing.
Also in action were Stephen Bayliss, Martin Cain, Cedric Lassonde, Bella Bayliss and a host of top age-groupers in action. Check out the race headlines here!

The Volcano Triathlon will be raced on Saturday 27th April.
