Braden Currie and Hannah Wells are leading the field heading into the final leg of Nutri-Grain IRONMAN New Zealand
following the 180km bike course.
A closely paced bike leg saw the three lead male athletes Braden Currie, Kyle Smith and Mike Phillips head into the last
stretch of the bike course together. Currie came into transition just a second ahead of Smith, with Phillips just behind
them.
Hannah Wells has opened up a healthy lead heading into the run course, over six-minutes ahead of Rebecca Clarke. Emily
McNaughtan is currently 23 minutes behind in third place.
The 42km run leg is looking like a closely fought battle between the three lead male athletes.IRONMAN NEW ZEALAND BIKE LEG RESULTSPRO MENBraden Currie, NZL, 5:14:56Kyle Smith, NZL, 5:14:57Mike Phillips, NZL, 5:15:02Ben Phillips, NZL, 5:20:57Cameron Brown, NZL, 5:28:18Simon Cochrane, NZL, 5:30:19Jack Moody, NZL, 5:33:23Lucas Duross, NZL, 5:48:17PRO WOMENHannah Wells, NZL, 5:48:59Rebecca Clarke, NZL, 5:55:35Emily McNaughtan, NZL, 6:18:41Melanie Burke, NZL, Still on bike course
