Ha da poco la lunga distanza nel mirino e ha già più volte centrato l’obiettivo. Dopo una chiusura d’anno all’italiana, in coppia con il fratello Jonathan alla staffetta del Challenge Forte Village Sardinia, l’oro olimpico Alistair Brownlee riparte dall’IRONMAN 70.3 Dubai, primo tra 47 professionisti. Soddisfazione per noi dai molti italiani Age Group
“Time flies when you’re having fun – Il tempo vola quando ci si diverte”: 3 ore, 35 minuti e 30 secondi per il nuovo “divertimento” di Alistair Brownlee, oggi dominatore sul mezzo all’IRONMAN 70.3 Dubai. Dopo i successi sulla distanza olimpica delle gare ITU, è sul medio e sul lungo che il britannico vuole riscrivere la storia. Il successo già all’esordio, lo scorso anno, nel Challenge Mogan Gran Canaria, e un bis all’IRONMAN 70.3 Utah St. George. Oggi a Dubai la prima gara del 2018 e ci risiamo: vittoria per il campione olimpico (03:35:30). Dietro a lui sul podio, gli svizzeri Sven Riederer (03:42:05) e Ruedi Wild (03:42:42). Supremazia al femminile per la tedesca Anne Haug (04:00:25), seguita dalle britanniche Sarah Lewis (04:05:19) ed Holly Lawrence (04:07:36). Tanta la soddisfazione di casa per i numerosissimi italiani presenti, di cui tre sui podi di categoria: complimenti ad Alessia Ligugnana (2^ F40-44, in 05:02:23), Marco Cason (2° M45-49, in 04:23:58) e Lorenzo Felici (3° M25-29, in 04:21:58).
