With more and more of the British lasses stepping out of the draft legal ITU circuit we're starting to see some phenomenal results and the future is looking really bright in the world of non-ITU triathlon:

Just a quick summary of their achievements from 2007:

• Chrissie Wellington won Ironman World Championships and Ironman Korea
• Julie Dibens won Xterra Worlds, St Croix 70.3, podiumed in many none drafting US oly races and won numerous Xterras
• Catriona Morrison wins European and World Duathlon Championships
• Bella Comerford won Ironman UK and will most likely win a 5th IMFL title next weekend
• Leanda Cave won ITU Long course worlds, 101 Clearlake, 101 Bradenton, Escape from Alcatraz (and 8th in Kona - first IM!)

I am probably missing some other victories (and athletes) here but the above says plenty.

With 4 of the above athletes all likely to start in Clearwater, GB have a serious chance of finishing the year with 4 world champions! Not bad for a small island with crappy weather, limited sports development and plenty of traffic!
