Petr Vabrousek confirms for Ironman UK
Serial racer, Petr Vabrousek has been confirmed as racing at the 2012 Ironman UK race. He will immediately enter as one of the favourites for this race.
Vabrousek, who dislikes training so races often, won on these shores last year at Challenge Henley and also came 10th at the ITU Long Distance championships. Those were just two results out of 35 races last year - which included an incredible 21 podiums across a variety of distances from half-marathons to the full Ironman distance.
At Henley, he beat race favourite Stephen Bayliss so it will be fascinating to see these two duel on British soil this year once again.
Vabrousek has found an unusual formula that works for him as he has already raced 11 times in 2012 with the stand out results being 6th at Ironman South Africa and 6th at Challenge Wanaka.
