I

t looks like the future Ironman World

Champions will be flooding in like a

tidal wave by the year 2042, thanks

to triathlon sensations Liz Blatchford,

Mirinda Carfrae, Jodie Cunnama, and

Rachel Joyce. These four women have

dominated podiums at both the half and

full iron distance racing in recent years and

are always seen as the top contenders

on the sport’s biggest stage. However,

Kona will be without Blatchford, Carfrae

and Cunnama this year as they take on

the role of mum-to-be and soon, where,

their only transition this year, will be that

of motherhood. Joyce, on the other hand,

is focusing on her comeback, after giving

birth last year. Find out how four of the

best female triathletes in the world are

embracing motherhood and still holding

onto their racing dreams.
