Australians were well in the mix at this weekends Ironman 70.3 California with Richie Cunningham  second, Leon Griffin forth and Paul Ambrose fifth in the mens race. Chris McDonald also had a top 10 finish coming in 7th, with Christian Kemp a respectable 14th.

Andy Potts led from start to finish to win his fourth title at Ironman 70.3 California, while three-time XTERRA world champion Melanie McQuaid proved that she can ride on the roads every bit as fast as she can ride on the trails to win her first California title in the womens race.
