BYRON bay triathlete Tim Reed has won his second 70.3 Sunshine Coast half-ironman.
Reed revelled in the wet conditions in Mooloolaba to finish ahead of ironman legend Craig Alexander and Gold Coast’s David Mainwaring to win Sunday’s 1.9km swim, 90km bike ride and 21.1km run.
“I love a rough swim like that, it really suits guys who live at the beach, so it was a lot of fun getting through the swell,” Reed said.
“The bike was pretty tough with some good riders in there. A few of us tried to break up the group a few times and everyone got onto the run with pretty tired legs. That is when my run tends to go well, when everyone is tired.
“I raced last week in Bintan and with 5km to go my quads felt there was glass inside them, so I had to grit my teeth and try and smile my way through it. There was no patch that is ever easy, there never is.”
