We catch up with British pro Laura Siddall after her two long distance podiums in New Zealand in the space of two weeks. Laura tells us about her close finish with Yvonne Van Vlerken at Challenge Wanaka and how she recovered physically and mentally so she could follow it up with a stunning second place at Ironman New Zealand a fortnight later.  Laura also talks about the rest of her season, how her bike has become her weapon and why she'll be back at Wanaka next year.
