&lt;p&gt;Laura Brown flew out to Mallorca to take part in the Mallorca 70.3 ironman event. This is only Laura’s 2nd year in Triathlon and has given herself the challenge if competing in three half ironman events, this being the first of the three.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In poor weather conditions Laura finished the 1.9k swim, 56 mile bike &amp;amp; 13 mile run in a very respectable time of 6hrs 7 mins, with splits of 39:17 swim, 3:14:28 bike &amp;amp; 2:03:48 run. Overall position 1566, 151&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; lady and 36&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; in age group, not bad going considering Laura was stung by jelly fish in the swim and it was raining...&lt;/p&gt;
