Triathlon: Triathlon’s dynamic duo Bayliss and Comerford take on the USA

Bella Comerford and Stephen Bayliss are firing on all cylinders and ready to race at Triathlon One O One’s season opener in Florida’s beautiful Bradenton. Blue skies and shimmering water kissing the white powdery sand beaches will provide the backdrop for the gruelling competition. Bella steps up to the challenge feeling pumped and having trained well, she says, "I have had a solid and consistent month of training since Ironman South Africa in March so I am leading up to this 101 race in Bradenton, Florida feeling happy and confident. There is a strong field of women in the race so it will not be an easy day, but I will be sticking to my race and being strong right to the very end. Stephen and I checked out the race site yesterday and I love the look of the course, it is flat for the whole race. This should really suit me." Stephen shares the positive approach of his partner and tells us, "I am feeling happy and confident about this race after a good 3 months of training in Thailand, and solid 6th place at Ironman Malaysia in Feb. I feel I am ready to put in a really solid performance, but hopefully my result will speak for its self on Sunday" Information about the event can be found at TriOneoOne.com.
