Coming into Round 5 of the Snap Australian Half Ironman Series the women’s series lead was being fiercely contested by Lisa Marangon and Elly Franks.
Both women desperately needed to win to gain an advantage before the series heads to Canberra in December for Round 6, and it was Sydney’s Marangon who ended up taking line honours.
“I am so excited winning today as I have had a huge week of training before I start tapering for Ironman Western Australia,” said Marangon who won the Busselton Half Ironman in May.
“The ride was tough today with the winds and the storm coming in but I felt great. I rode the whole way by myself and rode really well which I needed after having a slower than normal swim.”
Having gained a large lead on the cycle, Marangon traded her bike for running shoes and continued to increase her lead.
‘’My run is something I have been working on really hard for Busselton and today it seemed to click.''
