Age Group athlete Nikki Bartlett (http://nikki-bartlett.blogspot.co.uk) had a breakthrough performance at Ironman 70.3 UK, Wimbleball on Sunday when she finished second overall to Eimear Mullan.

A former elite rower, the recent convert to multisport has some real talent - she qualified for Kona in her first Ironman, but didn't take the slot... she didn't even know what Kona was at the time! With aspirations to race Pro in due course, Nikki is taking her time to gain as much experience as she can. Watch out for her in the coming years, and find out more about her in this interview.
