Ali Brownlee to target Ironman 70.3 Worlds
“The next couple of years will see me race over longer distances, though I will still be at Leeds WTS this year,” Brownlee says. “I’m looking to be as competitive as I have been over the Olympic distance, although I have a lot to learn. I’m strong over all three disciplines and I will look to use that to my advantage.
“I’m really pleased to be joining the Bahrain Endurance team; they are the best athletes in the world, men and women.”
Fellow British triathlete and current Ironman 70.3 World Champion Holly Lawrence is also looking forward to wearing the racing red alongside her new teammates. Lawrence left ITU racing in favour of middle distance two years ago, and won the 2016 Ironman 70.3 world title in Mooloolaba, Australia.
Lawrence says: “I’m excited to be part of the team, to join legends like Jan Frodeno, Javier Gomez and Daniela Ryf who I’ve always looked up to.”
The Bahrain Endurance 13 tri team, under the leadership of His Highness Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, race middle-distance and full-distance triathlons in the team’s iconic red colours.
