Ironman Australia April 3rd -

Ironman Triathlon World Champion Lori Bowden
will return to Forster, NSW for the Snap Ironman Australia Triathlon.
Bowden, a three-time winner of the Australian event, is attempting to join
Australia’s Louise Bonham as a four-time champion.
Bowden, who also recently signed with Asics, will be looking for a return to
the winner’s circle after a difficult 2004 which saw her finish 12th at the
Hawaii Ironman last October. This was the first time in a number of years
that the two-time world champion had placed outside of the top 10 in Kona.

Earthquake and Tsunami effect all
The past weeks and the aftermath of the devastating
earthquake and tsunami in Asia has impacted all of us and changed our world
forever. Our first concern was to ensure the safety of our Triathlon family
in Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia. One of the hardest
hit areas has a lot of history with ITU - Chennai, India which has hosted
Asian Championship events, an Olympic Solidarity Training Camp and many
Indian National Triathlons. Rami Ramachandran, President of the Indian
Triathlon Federation and former ITU Executive Board member, reported that
all of their family and members of their federation are safe. - From the
