So after 2008 Olympic Champion Frodo’s debut in Frankfurt (and 3rd place in Hawaii), the 2012 Olympic Champion will also compete in a first Ironman race in 2014. No, that’s not Alistair, it’s Nicola:

Should be interesting. She said many times that she didn’t want to do Ironman, but I guess Daniela’s relative success rubbed off on her. And she prepared for the Marathon European Championships earlier this year, so there’s that too.
She’ll then focus 2015 (European Championships are in Geneva, Switzerland) and 2016 (Rio obviously) on ITU.
