PETALING JAYA: Switzerland’s Andy Sutz grabbed the 2009 Powerman Malaysia duathlon title in Manjung yesterday with a blistering time of 2’45:47 to deny Jason Spong of South Africa a back-to-back win.
The 28-year-old Sutz, who was competing in Malaysia for the first time, was thrilled to come out tops in the (11km run, 64km cycling and 10km run) race. "I knew it was going to be a close call with so many top-class athletes competing. All the long hours of gruelling training seems to have paid off,” he said.
