Tisseyre takes women’s crown
Magali Tisseyre of Canada, 2009 Ironman 70.3 Boise champion, won the women’s category of the Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 Philippines at the CamSur Watersports Complex in Pili, Camarines Sur.
Michellie Jones of Australia, 2006 Ironman World Champion and 2000 Olympic silver medalist, grabbed second place.
Earlier, 29-year-old Pete Jacobs of Sydney, Australia overcame the hot weather to win in the men’s division. Jacobs timed 3:58:41
“It feels so nice to win it. This is my first win in the 70.3 distance. This (Cobra Ironman) is my favorite race. The support was non-stop. It was a little bit disorienting. You couldn’t tell whether you were in a town or outside. The cheering was non-stop,” said Jacobs.
Placing second behind Jacobs was last year’s champion Terenzo Bozzone, 25, who timed 4:05:54. Jacobs had to outlast Bozzone, of Auckland, New Zealand, in the run leg, even trailing the former champion briefly early in the run.
Thirty year old Fredrik Croneborg of Sundborn, Sweden, took home third place with a time of 4:14:36.
