Clifton Ingram Partner Endures Punishing Ironman

Looking fresh at the start!

Looking Fresh at the Start!

Clifton Ingram Sports Lawyer, Tris Moore, has successfully completed his first Ironman (essentially an extension of a “normal” triathlon by increasing the overall race distance to 70 miles – not for the faint hearted!).

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps, Tris competed over 70.3 miles of open water, mountain cycle track and road, but he was never in the frame for the prize of qualification for the World Ironman Championships at Clearwater in Florida.

Although being hit by a flailing elbow during the swim section resulted in a slight set back for Tris, he recovered sufficiently and, despite the considerable heat, he successfully completed the course at Rapperswil-Jona, Lake of Zurich.

The first professional completed the course in a mind boggling 3 hours 52 minutes, but for a chastened Tris, a more sedate jog in the park with the rest of the amateurs now beckons!
