fellow Australian Ironman legend Belinda Granger, who has recently announced 2014 would be the final race year

A beautiful sunny day in Lang Co provided the perfect course for the race throughout the opening 1.8km swim,
the 62km bike, and the 12km run.

of 02:38:51. Last years Laguna Lng C champion Massimo Cigana was third in 02:39:21.

champion title with a swim of 00:22:59, bike of 01:43:48, and run of 00:47:15 for an overall time of 02:56:43.

competing on the course in a heated race. The inaugural amateur Laguna Lng C Bike Race in the afternoon on
the same 62km course drew in a significant crowd of local bike enthusiasts.

Champion Ruedi said: Its an amazing course with beautiful scenery, and there is great enthusiasm from the
crowd. I have raced in many places but the Laguna Lng C Triathlon is one of my favourite races. Its my first
time racing in Vietnam, and I will definitely come back next year.
Vodickova commented: The run course through Banyan Tree was beautiful; it was even more amazing than last
year. For me this triathlon is more than a race, its a wonderful holiday, and Id love to come back to defend my
champion title next year.
