Chrissie Wellington, aboard her Cannondale Slice, put in a fast bike leg on her way to a third straight Ironman World Championship and a course record time of 8:54:03. The impressive performance was topped by only 22 of the fastest men!
Coming out of the water in eighth place, Chrissie built up a lead of over eleven minutes on the bike. “I knew going into the race the competition was going to be tough and the bike was going to be my ace in the hole,” said Wellington. “Throughout the tough conditions my Cannondale Slice performed flawlessly as if it was the wind beneath my wings.”
According to Cannondale, the company’s triathletes: ‘compete, win, and set world records and fastest splits aboard the Cannondale Slice. The Slice features class-leading aerodynamics to achieve higher speeds. It is one of the absolute lightest triathlon bikes on the planet and has the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the industry. In addition, the S.A.V.E. tube shapings soak up road buzz and leave you fresher for the run. Chrissie says so… imagine what it can do for you!’
Tapping into the attention focused on Chrissie’s performance at Kona, Cannondale has tied up with Californian tri retailer Nytro to offer the chance to win a Cannondale Slice.
