While most Australian eyes are focused on Cairns this weekend Clayton Fettell will be starting his American adventure by taking on the New Hampshire course where Mooseman has been run for the last 11 years. Fettell is likely to tackle this race like all his others, dominate on the swim, go hard off the front on the bike, and see what happens on the run. this has served him well up until now, and we would expect a good result on Sunday.
Out to ruin his plans will be defending champion Maxim Kriat. who will have the advantage of familiarity with the tough rolling bike course, and the potential for a hot and humid day.
“My form is good going into this race,” says Fettell “I am expecting some stiff competition as the races over here (USA) are getting harder and harder to win with athletes from all over the globe flocking to the US. It will be my first time on the east coast, so I am very excited to race Mooseman for the first time.”
Maxim Kriat’s win at the 2011 edition of the Ironman Mooseman saw him win by just seven seconds over Australia’s Paul Ambrose.
