Michelle Dillon Wins London Triathlon
Aqua Sphere sponsored triathlete Michelle Dillon, a 2000 Olympian and winner of the 2007 St Anthony's Triathlon in Florida, wowed her home crowd on August 5th by winning the worlds biggest triathlon - The Michelob Ultra London Triathlon. It is the second time she has won this event.
Competing in the elite female race comprising a 1500 swim, 38 km bike and 9.8 km run, Michelle was ecstatic with this excellent result, finishing the gruelling course in 1 hour 55 mins. Michelle is a fan of Aqua Sphere's Kaiman swimming goggles and says" My favourite gogggles didn't disappoint again ! It can be quite rough in the swim and poorly fitting goggles can lose you precious seconds. My comfortable Kaimans with excellent suction, stayed firmly in place, whilst the wide angled lens helped me to site the buoys though all the splash."
Since its inaugural race 11 years ago, the Michelob Ultra London Triathlon has grown at a record pace and is a major global event in the triathlon calendar, with this year's event attracting 12,000 athletes across super-sprint, sprint and Olympic categories over two distinct courses.
