PE entrant feels ready after much preparation

PORT Elizabeth professional triathlete Kyle Buckingham will launch an assault on the Standard Bank Ironman Africa Championship title on the back of some solid recent form. He said finishing second in this year’s Ironman 70.3 South African race in East London had boosted his confidence as he prepared for Sunday’s event, which starts and finishes at Hobie Beach.
