Thirty years ago, at the Ironman World Championships, Dave Scott and Mark Allen had an epic battle. Most people know the peripheral story, but no one knows the details of each of their lives in the year-long buildup to this race, or the real race story.

HUUB’s Dave Scott Swim Clinic is taking place on Monday 7th Oct at 9 am in Kona, ahead of the IRONMAN World Championships.

We are offering 18 of you privileged people who are already going to be in Kona the chance to get in the pool alongside one to one advice from the 6x IRONMAN Triathlon World Champion himself. Anyone may still come and watch on the poolside!

The spectacular course in Nice attracted stars from both the ITU and long course circuit and was the perfect test for both types of athletes. Alongside the PRO men and women, thousands of Age Group athletes also headed to the south of France to try and claim a World title on a somewhat unconventional championship course.

HUUB's Alistair Brownlee (GBR) will start as one of the favourites in the men's race after finishing a close second last year. The double Olympic Champion looks to have had a better build-up to the Championships this year so we will hope to see him full of racing come Sunday. 

We will be seeing Alistair Brownlee (GBR) at Kona this year!

This was after double Olympic Champion won Ironman Cork over the weekend. There was one slot available for both the Pro men and Pro women and soon after finishing Alistair confirmed he would indeed accept his place, confirming his intentions to focus on long distance racing in the second half the season. It now looks like he will be on the start line for both the 70.3 World Champs and now the Ironman World Champs.

Alistair Brownlee returned to racing at the weekend for IRONMAN 70.3 Marbella. Brownlee led out of the water with a 39-second lead, but what appeared to be a mechanical issue on the bike put him 7 minutes back, arriving at T2 10 minutes down. Not giving up, a 1:11:03 run split took him to a comfortable second place.

Jess Learmonth led out of the water at the Bermuda round of the World Triathlon Series. By the end of the 40km bike in tricky conditions, Learmonth had formed a trio with Katie Zaferes and Lottie Miller who had a gap of 2.30 minutes. On the last lap of the run, it was clear Zaferes would claim her victory, but Learmonth looked strong in second place. Her second place finish also placed her second in the series rankings after her podium at the previous WTS round.

The IM World Championships in Kona lived up to all the hype and expectations. Although the race didn't go exactly to script there was still some epic battles out on the course and near perfect race conditions allowed for incredibly fast racing as numerous records were obliterated.
