power2max athlete Bertrand Billard defended his ITU long distance championship title in Weihei, China, in 5h09m09s, edging out big names like Sylvain Sudrie (2nd) and Craig Alexander. Bertrand blitzed the 120km bike in 2h57m46s, only one of three men to stay below 3 hours, and out-splitting triathlon legend Craig Alexander by almost 15 minutes.

Antony Costes finished a strong 9th (5h24m24s) in his first appearance.

BRAVO to Bertrand and Antony !
