Busso 70.3 Results:
The 70.3 race at Busso took place a couple of weeks ago. The terrain is flat and the roads that the ride follows are smooth and fast. The run is also dead flat but very picturesque, following the coastline and with views of the Busselton Pier. Energy Link had three athletes competing: Joe Sprange, seeking his first sub 4:30 70.3, Di Bell who enjoyed her first race back on home ground after serving in Afghanistan and Mike Gleeson doing his first 70.3 race. All three had good races and enjoyed the experience of racing on the west coast of Australia.
Joe Sprange: 4:35:38
Mike Gleeson: 5:29:10
Di Bell: 6:10:41

After a few weeks r & r, our Kona qualifiers are embarking on their preparation for the World Ironman Triathlon Championships. Both Bruce and Chris have prepared for this event and if there is any advice we would offer it would be:
* Don’t make the mistake of believing you need more training for Kona – it is just another Ironman.
* You need to be smart with your training and prepare mentally for the course and the conditions. * Don’t be intimidated by the race or the athletes racing.
