IRONMAN Lanzarote
Arguably one of the toughest triathlons in the world due to the heat, wind and landscape, Lucy Gossage returns to IRONMAN Lanzarote on Saturday as a former winner. As a popular British tourist destination, there should be plenty of support for British Age-Group and pro athletes as they pass various busy bars and restaurants in Puerto del Carmen and along the route.
Elite Men: Brian Fogarty, Henry Irvine
Elite Women: Lucy Gossage, Nikki Bartlett, Emma-Kate Lidbury, Caroline Livesey

IRONMAN 70.3 St. Pölten 2018

Elite Men: Will Clarke, Henry Irvine
