2012 Ironman 70.3 Port Macquarie Race Preview

We saw Appleton earlier this year at Huskisson long course finish just under 3mins behind Pete Jacobs in a race that saw Jacobs pushed to his limits by an inform Mitch Robins. Appleton ran a 1:10 for the 20kms and was only marginally off Pete Jacobs on
