Editor’s NotE

HELLO

T

here was much anticipation

ahead of Ironman Cairns this

year - the Ironman debut of

superstar Javier Gomez, the

return of Mirinda Carfrae to Ironman racing

post baby and one of the most impressive

start lists, on the men’s side, we’ve seen

assembled on Australian shores. So often

these ‘big’ races don’t live up to the hype,

but Cairns certainly didn’t disappoint.

A few of my highlights from the race:

•    Gomez was stunning on debut,

not surprising he is a true champion of

this sport. Who else is looking forward

to the Frodo vs. Gomez battle on

The Big Island!

•    Rinny didn’t show up just to stamp her

ticket to Kona, and even though she

didn’t win (second is a mighty result),

she definitely has us excited for the

showdown with Daniela in October.

•    The surprise packet was Teresa Adam;

in just her second Ironman race ever

she nailed the win against some

big-name opponents. Impressive.

•    Braden Currie is a jack of all trades; he

races everything you can think of from

ITU, XTERRA, half Ironman, Ironman

and throw in a bit of adventure racing

like Coast to Coast. This was a big win,

he might not be a household name in

triathlon globally, but he should be.

•    Terenzo Bozzone is doing everything

right - another race, another great result.

•    Beth McKenzie’s return to racing was

impressive and emotional. It’s been a

long two years.
