Skipper had a good all round performance with a 0:53:11 swim, 4:25:10 bike section and 2:45:50 run, which saw him advance from 7th after the bike to take the 2nd place, ahead of the fading Millward who finished in 3rd with a time of 8:10:56.

Skipper finished 1:39 behind the winner Cameron Brown, who has now won the event 12 times and, at the age of 43, has extended his own world record as the oldest winner of any Ironman race.
“That was the toughest. And aside from that first win here, this would have to go down as the best,” says Brown. “I’m a couple of months shy of my 44th birthday so to win this for a 12 time, and set a new course record is incredibly special. The conditions were perfect. I had my best swim and my best bike times ever. I was pushed so hard by Callum (Millward) and I am really suffering but this means so much to me.”
Despite rating her chances of competing in Ironman New Zealand as minimal due to injuries when she boarded the plane a month ago Lucy Gossage put in a sterling performance to finish 2nd behind the winner in a time of 9:05:07

“I had a very decent swim for me [0:55:44],” she says. “I rode better than ever and didn’t let a puncture 20 miles into the race play with my head too much (in fact maybe it made my day – never before has the phrase ‘the only pace is suicide pace’ seem more apt). I was angry from that point on, having ridden myself up from 11th to 6th and then ended up back in 12th and my riding reflected this! Apparently I ended up with the bike course record [4:51:38] despite the puncture”

“Meredith is a bit of a hero of mine and I’m more than happy to come second behind such a gracious legend,” she says. “I went into the race not really certain whether or not I would finish and certainly didn’t expect to end up on the podium.”A run in 3:12:10 meant she finished nine minutes behind Meredith Kessler who completed the course in 8:56:07, which beat her own course record by nearly 10 minutes.

A week after winning WTS Abu Dhabi Brit Jodie Stimpson has won the ITU Triathlon World Cup in Mooloolaba, Australia.

After a strong 750m sea swim, Stimpson got into a lead group of ten women on the bike, and made a move early in the 5km run to set up the victory.
“It’s great to back to back in Mooloolaba, it’s like a home race, I’ve spent a lot of time here since 2009,” said Jodie. It’s a nice feeling to be back here. I got second last time I was here to Annie Haug, so it’s nice to get the win.”
“I swam absolutely shocking in Abu Dhabi and it wasn’t a reflection of how my swimming has gone. To be honest I was probably a little bit behind but I managed to catch a brilliant wave coming in, I got dunked a little bit, but I just caught a cracking wave and it made me come up a little bit…goggles were half off, but it was great fun.”
Olympic bronze medallist Aussie Emma Moffatt was second and USA’s Kirsten Kasper was third.
It was the weekend for Abu Dhabi victors as Mario Mola also won the men’s race, adding to his Abu Dhabi victory from last weekend.
Stimpson will now stay in Australia in preparation for her next race, the ITU World Triathlon Series on Australia’s Gold Coast on 9 April, where the British selectors will be looking to make their final choice for Rio.

Paratriathlon: the ultimate guide
Britain’s pioneering approach to elite paratriathlon training
Having paratriathlon included on the programme for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games is great news,” said ITU President and IOC Member Marisol Casado. “I can’t imagine a better place for paratriathlon to be tested on the Commonwealth Games programme than Gold Coast, which hosts many ITU events & is a mecca for the sport of triathlon. Paratriathletes will no doubt enjoy fantastic support in the coastal city.”
The Gold Coast has served as a consistent host of ITU events, hosting the first ITU World Triathlon Series Grand Final back in 2009. It returned to the Series line up last year, and will host a World Triathlon Series race until 2018, when it will again organise the Grand Final.
“The Gold Coast will be a hub for triathlon and paratriathlon activity at both the elite and age group level in 2018 with both the ITU World Triathlon Series Grand Final and the Commonwealth Games hosted there,” said Casado.
The 2018 Commonwealth Games has the largest-ever para-sport programme, comprising up to 300 para-athletes and 38 medal events across 7 sports.
