Craig Alexander, who spends half the year in his native Australia country and the other half in Boulder, Colorado, has been a professional triathlete for more than ten years. He has compiled a remarkable list of wins around the world in Olympic distance triathlons, half Ironman races, and Ironman Distance events.

He placed first in the Ford Ironman 70.3 World Championship in 2006, and Triathlete Magazine named him the 2006 "Triathlete of the Year". In 2007 in his first attempt at the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, HI - Craig was the runner-up. Craig is the 2008-09 Ford Ironman World Champion.

Using this experience from his incredible Rookie performance in Kona, Craig went to work, preparing for his assault on Kona in 2008. All of the hard work paid off as he won the race and became the second Australian man behind Greg Welch to call himself the Ford Ironman World Champion.
