Good luck to Roger and Emma Cranfield in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii on Saturday 13th October. You can follow their progress on the day on ironmanlive.com

Both qualified by winning their Age Groups at Ironman Bolton in July.

Roger Canham 1:05:58 5:33:30 3:08:14 = 9:54:02
Emma Cranfield 1:01:09 6:04:16 3:41:26 = 10:52:13

This will be Roger's 11th Ironman race in just 6 years. It took me 26 years to do 11. It will be Emma's 3rd Ironman.

Fantastic achievement and good luck to both in Hawaii.

Wow guys thats fantastic! truly humbling and inspiring :)

I've entered the Vitruvian next year (this was my first year doing tri and i've gone no further than oly distance so far) so will have loads of questions no doubt which i'll fire away.

Good luck at Kona - i'll keep an eye out for you.

Great interview, very inspirational. Shows that if your willing to keep learning and pushing the limits, age is just a number.
Time to get more focused on training I reckon.
