A Great Day for the AussiesIn Japan

Nick Munting serves up two profiles on a pair of worthy winners at Ironman Japan ... which is all-too-appropriate since both the author and the winners hail from the "land down-under."

Overcoming some very challenging conditions, Sarah Fien and Jason Shortis managed to outlast their challengers at last month’s Ironman Japan Triathlon.

All’s Fine With Sarah Fien

Australia’s Sarah Fien (pronounced ‘feen’), the one time pro cyclist and cross country runner delivered a sensational performance at Ironman Japan to claim her first Ironman title.

Shortis Triumphs In Japan

With his third Ironman win after a close battle with defending champion Peter Kropko, Jason Shortis has now won as many Ironman titles as he has finished a close second, Nick Munting reports.
