While Trevor Wurtele was taking second spot in the Valley First Challenge Penticton half triathlon, Sunday, Heather Wurtele took second place halfway around the world.
Heather was competing in Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Austria, where she took second place in her division with a time of 4:23:07.
“I definitely left it all out there today! @danielaryf = brilliant & Anja pushed me super hard 2 the finish. What a great race,” tweeted Heather.
The Ironman 70.3 World Championship was created in 2006 and held in Clearwater, Fla., until 2011. It then moved to Henderson, Nev., where athletes were treated to a much more challenging course.
In 2013 and 2014, the event took place in Mont-Tremblant, Que., its first stop on a new "global rotation" for the championship. 2015 put the event on European soil for the first time.
More than 1,800 athletes from around the world (who qualified at another Ironman 70.3 event) competed.
More than 130,000 athletes participate in a season of qualifying races for the championship, a series which consists of over 85 events in locations such as Australia, Germany, South Africa and Switzerland.
