XTERRA WETSUITS Pro Team member and fastest American Ironman triathlete Chris Lieto won Ironman 70.3 Kansas yesterday after racing in his XTERRA WETSUITS triathlon wetsuit. Lieto held off Andy Potts by 24 seconds to earn the top podium spot and set a new course record. XTERRA WETSUITS Pro Courtney Ogden placed fourth. The Australian was a last minute entry as he was scheduled to compete at the canceled Ironman Japan on June 13.

In the women’s field, XTERRA WETSUITS’ Linsey Corbin was third out the water in her Vendetta triathlon wetsuit on her way to a third place finish (4:25:58) behind Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington and Australian Pip Taylor, who is a sports nutrition writer for Triathlete Magazine.

While two-time Ironman World Champion Tim DeBoom and Belinda Granger walked away winners at Ironman 70.3 Hawaii on Saturday, amateur Christina Jackson made waves in her XTERRA WETSUITS Velocity triathlon speedsuit. Jackson was third out of the water (including pros) in an impressive 27:51, earned fifth place overall (including pros) and won the 25-29 age group in 4:50:16.
