In the heat of Port Elizabeth, Fusion ambassador Rachel Joyce enjoyed a strong performance in finishing on the Podium at Ironman South Africa 2009.

In what was to set the tone for her performance throughout the day Rachel was the 2nd woman out of the water with a time of 52:18 just behind eventual winner Lucie Zelenkova. Rachel maintained her 2nd position throughout the bike leg with a split of 5:04:53 before putting in a strong run in the sweltering conditions to finish 3rd in an overall time of 9:37:00.

Aside from finishing third Rachel had an eventful post race experience! Whilst receiving medical treatment the terrible rain conditions forced the tent to collapse and the supporting beam fall onto the bed Rachel was being treated on!!! Fortunately Rachel escaped any major injury and is now back in Training in preparation for Ironman Lanzarote.

In his most recent outing Team Fusion Athlete Adam Bowden won the UK National Duathlon Championships with an emphatic victory in a time of 1:51:12 and a winning margin of just under 1 minute.

While Adam lost close to three minutes on the bike leg, he used his blistering run speed to take the win, for his first run (10K) he clocked 30:03, over two and a half minutes quicker than the next fastest runner and a second run split (5k) of 16:44 more than one minute quicker than the next fastest athlete.

Whilst exhibiting at the TCR 2009 Show we were approached by Tri 24/7 and asked whether we wanted to put our newly launched Power Long Tights to the test with one of their resident testers. The results of the test were impressive with the reviewer stating “They are the most effective compression garment that I have worn.”

Last month we were approached by tri 24/7 with an idea and a challenge. They were looking to secure their product testing team with some of the highest performance equipment available for an extra special product review. The kit would be thoroughly tested in race conditions at the Spec-Savers Ironman South Africa.

The kit was tested by John Franklin who won the 18-24 Age Group by just two minutes and booked his Kona slot. His review was extremely positive and described the Fusion Kit as innovative and an excellent fit, you can read the full review at:
