Tyler and Nikki Butterfield announced today that both husband and wife plan to compete at the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon on March 2nd, 2013. The news marks a return to racing for the defending Women’s champion Nikki, who put her athletic career on hold in mid-2012 in hopes of having a second child.
With Tyler making his first appearance in Abu Dhabi, the Butterfields are excited for the opportunity to race together in the season opener event.
Tyler finished fourth at the 2012 Ironman Arizona and is the reigning Pan American Champion. Earlier in 2012 he represented Bermuda at his second Olympic Games in London, clocking the fastest bike split and placing 34th, now he’ll turn his focus fully to long course competition.
