Shio Yuan’s Desaru win a boost for her world c’ships’ preparation


KOTA TINGGI: Chia Shio Yuan’s (pic) feat of becoming the fastest Malaysian female athlete at the Ironman 70.3 Desaru Coast on Sunday has given her a timely boost as she gears up for her biggest challenge of the year, the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, on Oct 11.

The result could not have come at a better time for the 34-year-old, as she now has just five months left to prepare for the gruelling race in Hawaii, a course twice the distance of the one she just completed in Johor.
