Previewing Sunday’s Ironman 70.3 Calgary
Tisseyre, McQuaid, Gross, Morrison, Symonds, Burwash to race.
Last year Canada’s Tenille Hoogland and American Tim O’Donnell won, both are not back this year so someone new will take over the championship titles.
Quite a few Canadian women are poised to take the top spot including Magali Tisseyre, Sara Gross (second last year), Danelle Kabush (fourth last year, and a recent XTERRA Mountain Champion), and fellow XTERRA standout Melanie McQuaid.
Penticton’s Jeff Symonds and Calgary’s Grant Burwash will have to contend with Chris Legh, Tom Lowe, Jason Shortis, and Rasmus Henning.
