Having finished runner-up in the last three Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, Lucy Charles-Barclay<\/a> is aiming to land the top spot for the first time as she lines up against a stellar field in Hawaii later today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reigning Ironman 70.3 world champ<\/a><\/strong> has made a spectacular comeback from injury to take her place in the race and will be looking to dethrone five-time Ironman champ Daniela Ryf<\/a><\/strong> for the biggest title of her career to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a world class triathlete, Charles-Barclay also requires world-class equipment, and so ahead of the race, <\/span>220<\/span><\/i> gives readers a quick rundown of what she\u2019ll be using.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will Lucy be using in the swim?<\/b><\/h2>\n

As a Roka-sponsored athlete in a non-wetsuit race, Lucy will be in the <\/span>Roka Viper X2 Swimskin<\/b>, which <\/span>provides enhanced core compression, better support and improved posture in the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among other features it also has a teflon coating that repels water and reduces drag and water absorption, and a breakaway zip for easy removal exiting the swim.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goggles are the <\/span>Roka R1 goggle<\/b>, which uses patented Rapidsight technology to improve Lucy\u2019s field of vision and SPCTRM Optics, a purpose-built lens collection offering the optimal tint for every condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will Lucy be using on the bike leg?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Credit: James Mitchell<\/span> <\/figcaption> <\/span>\n<\/div> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLucy will be riding a <\/span>Cube Aerium C:68X <\/b>prototype,<\/span> which now incorporates disc brakes and claims to have <\/span>better aerodynamics, steerability, less weight, plus more hydration and storage options.<\/span>\n

Tests have shown the bike is 3.63 watts faster compared to the rim brake Aerium, with other new features including a slicker aerodynamic profile with flatter handlebars and various hydration and storage options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lucy will be riding <\/span>DT Swiss Arc 1100 <\/b>wheels with a<\/span> Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed <\/b>groupset, a <\/span>CeramicSpeed <\/b>derailleur pulley wheel and <\/span>Schwalbe Tyres.<\/b><\/p>\n

She\u2019ll probably be using the long-tailed <\/span>KASK Bambino Pro Evo<\/b> helmet, but might also opt for the Mistral aero helmet or Bambino Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the swim skin removed, a custom made white and pink <\/span>Endura <\/b>long course tri-suit designed to optimise aerodynamics for the bike and keep her core temperature cool for the run will also be on show.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will Lucy be using on the run?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lucy will be sticking with the <\/span>Asics Metaspeed Sky+<\/b>. They are the carbon-plated shoe that helped her win the Ironman 70.3 World Championship title in St George and were her racing shoe of choice even before signing for the brand in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s also likely to be looking cool in <\/span>Oakley Custom Sutro<\/b> sunglasses, but could be donning another pair from the Oakley range.<\/span><\/p>\n
