After finishing a strong second to six-time champion Jesse Thomas at the Wildflower Triathlon two weeks ago, Terenzo Bozzone is fit and ready for tomorrow’s Ironman North American Championship in Texas.
The Kiwi is seeking to seal his qualification spot for the Ironman World Championship as the winner of this race gets an automatic spot in Hawaii.
“I feel I am able to approach the race with a lot less pressure and expectation than I chose to put on myself leading into my home race in New Zealand,” he said.
“After crashing my bike three days before Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Ironman New Zealand in March and not being able to race to my full potential on my home course, I am looking forward to racing another Ironman.
“There is a very tough and deep field and the temperatures are going to bring some extra heat to the race, but I can’t wait for this new challenge.”
After severe storms flooded most of the planned 112-mile bike course, Ironman Texas organisers have announced a modified 94-mile route for race day.
Bozzone lines up alongside 52 other starters, including defending champion Matt Hanson.
