Big weekend review: A Bayliss double, Paterson claims World Title and breakthrough Abraham performance.
It was a huge weekend on the WTC circuit and most of the headlines were written at Ironman Lanzarote – namely Graves suicide drive on the bike and the Bayliss’ demonstrating the perfectly paced Ironman to take double podiums.
Lanzarote wasn’t the only race though and British Isles triathletes were performing at Ironman Texas, Columbia, the ITU World Cross Tri World Championships and much more.
Eimear Mullan finishes 9th at Ironman Austria 70.3
Irish star Eimear Mullan has finished 9th at today’s Ironman Austria 70.3.
Her time of 4:33:29 was good enough to get her into the points and was almost exactly 10 minutes of the eventual winner Julia Gajer from Germany. Lucy Gossage and I had tipped her for a top 3, whilst the self depreciating Mullan joked (on Twitter) that she was expecting a win - her tongue in cheek in recognition of the tough opposition here.
I’ll be speaking to Eimear later this week about the race and how she did against this very competitive field.
The top 10 of the mens and ladies race are below.
