🌺 Australia takes on Kona!

World titles, podium finishes and gutsy performances against the best in the world. There was plenty to celebrate for the Australians at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona.

Rain, wind and heat made an already brutal course even tougher, but our Australian Professional and Age Group athletes rose to the challenge. 💚💛

🏆 Three Australians were crowned Age Group World Champions:
🥇 John Hughes | M55–59 | @pantherstri | 9:26:33
🥇 Caroline Anderson | F60–64 | @stadiumtriclub | 11:47:40
🥇 Mary Mitchell | F65–69 | @wynrepublic | 13:11:36

And there were more Aussies on the Age Group podium:

🥈 Jaz Sloane | F25–29 | 2nd | 3rd fastest Age Group woman overall 💪| 09:40:36
🥈 Rosie Spencer | F65–69 | @beckworthracing | 13:38:20
🥉 Patrick Roberts | M25–29 | koasports01 | 8:47:07
🥉 Ryan Miller | M45–49 | 8:57:04
