So what happened at Ironman Lanzarote? What were the pros doing while Morrison was stranded on the road for 30+minutes waiting for a mechanic to fix her chain?
The Ironman in Lanzarote was a little confusing. How is it that an athlete can be stationary for over 30 minutes and still win the race? It's baffling and more to the point, what was happening to the rest of the women's field? We are talking about some good athletes too (Hillary Biscay, Tara Norton & Bella Bayliss) as the Lanzarote women's field was very strong. Without being too harsh on Catriona Morrison's win (it was an amazing win, no doubt about that) the other females in that field must surely be asking themselves "What the?" after this race. A really remarkable outcome and there might be several of the pros thinking that they let that win get away.
And GB age grouper Louise Collins, in her first Ironman, took an amazing second place. Well done Cat, a well deserved win, a true inspiration! Roll on Kona!
