Ironman Series Champion, Zane Holmes out of the 2010 SeriesAn ongoing back injury has forced five time Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Ironman Series Champion, Zane Holmes, out of the 2010 Series and the remainder of the season. Holmes today confirmed that the injury, which has affected the discs in his lower back, has prevented him from full training for the last three to four months.  ‘’After consultation with a number of people, I’ve made the difficult decision to not race for at least the next three months," he said. The 27 year old Ironman said he still has the desire to compete at the elite level and doesn’t want this injury to affect his racing in the future.

Monster shark spreads fear off Queensland coast

Monster shark news reaches ends of globe

Gold Coast Monster Shark

A MONSTER predator lurking off the Queensland coast north of the Gold Coast is so big it was nearly able to bite this 3m white pointer shark in half. The massive chunks were probably taken out by a giant white pointer that could easily be more than 5m long, based on the size of the huge bites on the sides of its smaller rival, experts say. The shark-on-shark attack occurred off North Stradbroke Island, east of Brisbane and north of the Gold Coast. The monster shark took advantage of the smaller shark being snared on a baited drumline set off the island’s popular Cylinder, Main and Deadman’s beaches. [quote]
