Really happy with my race today @ironmantri # im703busselton. Pushed all the way in tough conditions by Big @mikephillipsnz @ mattburton_01 and @maxxyneumann. Mike had some stomach issues on the run, which opened the door for me. The race doubled as the Australian Long Course Championships, so I was pumped to take the title nearly 20 years after winning it for the first time. Well done to everyone who raced, that wind was tough! ? @dellyphotoninja
