Last year’s four-race Super Series was won by Mark Buckingham and Emma Pallant, with the latter winning all three races she competed in (Blenheim, Windsor and London) and finishing just ahead of India Lee and Jenny Manners.
Buckingham took the series title after coming second at Blenheim and first at Windsor and London, finishing ahead of David Bishop and Iestyn Harrett.
What’s more, the London Triathlon will also host the new-for-2015 British Elite Standard Distance Triathlon Championships, which organisers IMG say should ensure a high calibre field of elites.
This year’s London Tri is expected to draw more than 13,000 athletes this year – for our gallery of last year’s event, click here.

“Tri Liverpool has hosted the British Triathlon Championships since 2013 and the event has gone from strength to strength in that time,” said British Triathlon’s Jon Ridgeon. “The City of Liverpool is the perfect setting with its historic docks and iconic buildings and athletes of all abilities can look forward to competing in front of tremendous crowds in a fantastic location.”
Last year’s elite race drew top US athlete Gwen Jorgensen, though it was British junior Sophie Coldwell who nearly pulled off a famous victory, leading the 2014 WTS champ all the way to a tightly-contested finish on the last lap. The men’s elite race was cancelled due to worsening weather conditions. For a gallery head here.
Members of the Home Nations can purchase a discounted entry for a limited period. Full details of the entry fees and event distances on offer are available at www.triliverpool.com.

After winning Kona two years on the trot, Mirinda Carfrae (AUS) will be the headline act at the 2015 Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship in Melbourne this March – though she again faces her Swiss nemesis Caroline Steffen.

This will be the first time Rinny has raced on Aussie soil since finishing third in the event’s 2012 edition, when she came third behind Steffen. “I’m looking forward to racing again at home. Winning an Australian Ironman title is not something I’ve done yet, so I’d love to add one to my résumé,” Carfrae said.
“It’s a championship race so some of the girls will be really targeting it and be in great shape. I’ll put my nose to the grindstone for the next four weeks, aiming to be as fit as I can be to have a shot at the title.”
It is also the first time in over a year that Carfrae has trained in Australia, as she’s usually based in Boulder, Colorado. “My family is excited to have me back and I enjoyed spending time with them in Brisbane,” she added. “I have six nieces and nephews and the oldest is seven, they change so quickly so I always miss out when I’m away too long.”
Carfrae won last year’s Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii despite a deficit of 14:30mins behind leader Daniela Ryf (SUI) coming out of T2 . She then turned in one of the greatest runs the sport has ever seen with a time of 2:50:27, to claim her third Ironman World Championship title (2010, 2013, 2014).

Don’t forget to pick up the March 2015 issue of 220 Triathlon magazine or listen to our podcast for an in-depth interview with Rinny, in which we discuss her upbringing on a farm outside Brisbane, her move from netball to basketball to triathlon and lots more.
