Local triathletes Andrea Forrest and Sam Appleton have both qualified to represent Australia at the 2014 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Canada. Held on September 7, the local duo will have the opportunity to mix it up with the world’s top 35 professional triathletes. With a prize purse of $250,000 for distribution among the top professional male and female finishers, both are in with a chance of a podium. “This is a huge opportunity for me, particularly at this point in my professional career,” said Forrest. “Training has been going well through winter and the recent opening of Atmosphere Health and Fitness Club has been a huge advantage, even enabling me to train on the race course via the Computrainer indoor cycling technology”.
