Alexander and Macca to do Battle on St. Croix

World Champions Craig Alexander and Chris McCormack will lead the field at the 2007 St. Croix Ironman 70.3, set for Sunday May 6. Alexander parleyed his 2006 St. Croix win into the first ever Ironman 70.3 World Championships, held in Clearwater, FL. Macca is the reigning Triathlete of the Year, and is one of the most versatile athletes in the sport.

The classic St. Croix course rewards fitness and strength, and both of the Australians have consistently proven their class. St. Croix offers a $50,000 prize purse, so both athletes are expected to give it their all.

Age groupers are also rewarded on St. Croix. Both Ironman World Championships Qualifying slots for Kona and Ironman 70.3 Clearwater slots are available. Limited entries are remaining, and all interested athletes are recommended to go to the race website www.stcroixtriathlon.com to enter soon.

...they neglect to mention that I'll be the dark horse, waiting for the entire pro field to crack, and then at the line I come out of nowhere and steal the show in front of the world to see, and do cartwheels across the finish line!

...yeah, maybe not.
