Alistair Brownlee has announced on social media that he will compete in the Ironman 70.3 Middle East Championship Bahrain on Friday 9 December, as part of a relay team. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be welcome news for fans of the older Brownlee brother, as he was not expected to be seen racing again this year after announcing back in September that he would be out for the season<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s announcement, though, on Facebook<\/a><\/strong> and Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Brownlee confirmed he will be taking on the swim as part of a relay team.<\/p>\n

\u201cRace week\u2026 kind of!\u201d the post read. \u201cI\u2019ll be flying out to Bahrain tomorrow, ready to swim in IRONMAN 70.3 Bahrain as part of a relay team on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve really missed racing, so I\u2019m excited to be in the race week atmosphere again!\u201d<\/p>\n
