WA Women Elite

Perth’s Angela Milne, the leader of the 2005/06 Snap Australian Half Ironman series is hoping her early season form will continue for this Sunday’s Ironman Western Australia Triathlon in Busselton. The former Hawaii Ironman age-group world champion has recently returned to top form after the birth of her daughter 12 months ago, with victories in Yeppoon, Cairns and Port Macquarie.

Milne enters the race as favourite due to these wins over the half Ironman distance but will face tough opposition from Canada’s Marilyn MacDonald who is a two-time winner of Ironman Malaysia. Amanda Lovato of the USA recently won the Soma Triathlon, an international long distance event in Tempe, Arizona and is another woman who could challenge for the Ironman Western Australia title.

Another Australian athlete who is in good form is Ironman UK winner Rebecca Preston. Preston finished 11 th at the recent Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii.
