It’s shaping up to be a big weekend of racing for our team of Newton pros…
The weekend will start with the Ironman 70.3 Boise event on Saturday. Craig Alexander will attempt to back up his recent Ironman 70.3 Hawaii win, against a strong field which includes fellow Newton athlete, Michael Simpson.
On Sunday, on the other side of the country, Natascha Badmann will be toeing the line at the Eagleman Ironman 70.3, where she set a world record a couple of years ago. Natascha finished 3rd at last weekend’s Rev3 Triathlon (but don’t call it a comeback!).
In the cold waters of the San Francisco Bay, 8-time Escape from Alcatraz Champion, Michellie Jones will try and make it #9.
Also taking place this weekend are the Ironman 70.3 Kansas and Ironman 70.3 UK events.
We wish all you athletes out there good luck this weekend! We’ll post as many updates as possible on our Twitter feed and then here on the blog on Monday.
