Heather Wurtele three-peats at Ironman 70.3 Campeche

For the third year in a row, Heather Wurtele (CAN) won Ironman 70.3 Campeche. Up against a strong field, one that included 2018 runner-up Lauren Brandon (USA), and challenging race conditions, Wurtele used her strength on the bike to move into the lead. On the run, she was able to hold off a charging Jacalyn Hering (USA) to take the win. Hering finished a minute back of Wurtele and Brandon finished third.

In the men’s race, after a season of injuries, Ben Hoffman (USA) returned to racing with a third-place finish, less than three minutes behind the winner, Michael Weiss (AUT). 2019 has seen a few changes for Hoffman – a new kit and bike. On Feb. 13th, the American moved back over to Cervélo. In 2007, the American triathlete began his professional career on a Cervélo P3. At this year’s edition of Ironman 70.3 Campeche, Hoffman was riding Cervélo’s new P5.
