Holly Lawrence crowned 70.3 World Champion
At the first hill on the bike Lawrence managed to pull ahead, and by the halfway point she had a three minute lead over the chase pack, including Steffen, Cave, and Kaye. Heather Wurtele put in time into the women all day to come off the bike in third.
Lawrence’s 1:21 run was enough to hold off the hard-charging Melissa Hauschildt, who used her impressive 1:18 half marathon to run her way into second. Wurtele pushed into the final place on the podium, while defending champion Daniela Ryf fought hard for fourth despite tired legs. The Sunshine Coast-based Steffen, who made this race her major aim this year, was impressive in fifth.
