Interview: Tom Lowe talks New Orleans and targets Kona
Tom Lowe, the former British Ironman record holder and elite pro, has returned to the pro scene again for 2012. The supremely accomplished multi-sporter is looking to build on his race results from 2010 and 2011 and break into the top-10 at Kona this year (or better!).
Last weekend he blew away some race-rust to take 3rd at Ironman New Orlean’s 70.3 in a thrilling sprint finish. I caught up with him for an interview about how the race went and what he had to do to reclaim the GB no.1 spot.

Tom Lowe showed his class and no ring rust at Ironman New Orleans 70.3 this weekend.
The poor weather conditions meant it was raced as a run-bike-run format and the former duathlete was always at the sharp end of the race.

Tom Lowe, former British Ironman record holder, has confirmed on Twitter that he will be racing this weekend at the Ironman New Orleans 70.3 event.
Lowe has confirmed late for the race but is one of the most talented triathletes on the circuit, having made an immediate impact on the distance when he transferred from the duathlon discipline and gained a pro license.
The swim leg is currently under threat and may start as a duathlon but Lowe has expressed that he hopes this does not happen:
In New Orleans for the 70.3 this Sunday. Weather looks shocking for race day. Don’t want swim cancelled but I’ll take the headwind on bike.
Tom Lowe will be joined at Ironman New Orleans 70.3 by Robbie Wade and will be hoping that he can produce a result that will add to his 2,300 KPR points already established.
