Gina Crawford (formerly Ferguson) has won 2009 Ironman Western Australia on December 5! She was a tough champion on her yellow CEEPO, and we are so proud of her. Congratulations!!
Here's a note from Gina:
"I am so happy to have a good race in Ironman Western Australia, to win and to defend my title. I was flying on my Ceepo bike in the first 60km and was building a big lead, but started to struggle just at the end with the very hot temperatures in the mid thirties. It has been a very abnormally cold spring in Christchurch, New Zealand which wasn't the best of buildups for this hot race. I came off the bike in front with a 4-5 minute lead which I maintained to the end. I had a very limited run build up for this race coming back from my ankle injury, so I struggled much more than usual, but am very happy to win another Ironman title in Australia and will now be working very hard to regain my running form for 2010."
