Bozzone has won over 25 half-ironman titles, but knows he can still squeeze more out of his performances over the full ironman. “I am yet to execute an Ironman race to what I think I am capable of and I look forward to seeing if I can have my race in Busselton on the weekend,” he says.
“After having to pull out of the marathon at the ironman world champs in Kona in October I have been trying to get to the bottom of why my body has been swelling so badly in hard, hot races,” he admits. “We have managed to eliminate a lot of things and racing IMWA this weekend will be a great opportunity to see if we have gotten to the bottom of this issue.”
The Kiwi athlete known for racing two or three half-ironmans back-to-back faces a much tougher challenge to put together a solid performance at an ironman and back it up a week later with a half. Yet he relishes the chance to push his limits. “I love racing in Western Australia and this should help my time clock in getting ready for Bahrain the following weekend.”
