Ironman Western Australia
2.4 Mile Swim, 112 Mile Bike, 26.2 Mile Run
Busselton, Australia
December 6, 2009

As strange as it might be for those of us in North America with snow falling and the temperatures plummeting, Ironman Western Australia was a warm affair. Such temperatures didn't deter Gina Crawford and Patrick Vernay who both won the race again. Vernay was the 2007 winner and Crawford won in 2008. This race brought Ironman racing to an end for 2009. The action begins again in Malaysia in February.
