*I haven't seen any results anywhere yet .. Here is an edited version of IMG's statement:

There were 756 athletes, and 200 qualified for April.

``Great Britain’s Paul Amey showed a clean pair of heels once onto the run claiming his second win of the series, backing up from the Cannibal Gold Coast Half Ironman three weeks earlier. Amey exited the 1.9km swim within the lead group but it was Amey and Luke McKenzie who broke clear on the 90.1km cycle leg to enter transition with a 2:30 buffer over Mitch Dean and Switzerland’s Mathias Hecht.

McKenzie began to feel the effects of the tough bike ride once onto the run and was soon passed by a fluent running Dean. Dean however wouldn’t make any inroads into Amey’s lead, who had the fastest run time of 1:16:44, which took him to victory in 3:54:21.

Angela Milne claimed her third victory of the Snap Australia Half Ironman Triathlon series almost guaranteeing her the overall series prize purse as the highest ranked athlete. Again Milne’s dominating bike leg set up her victory, riding 10 minutes faster than her second-placed rival, Alison Keen of Colored, NSW.

Starting the bike leg two minutes behind Keen, Milne was able to take the lead within the first 30km of the ride before powering her way to victory with the second fastest run of the day. Charlotte Paul placed third overall with a solid performance with Canadian Marilyn McDonald, who is preparing for Ironman Western Australia in November, placing fourth.''
