Lee competed in her first Ironman 70.3 World Championships at Nice in 2019 coming 11th, and followed this by recording a 6th place at the Ironman 70.3 Middle East championships. [5]
As a result of her placing in the latter race she secured a place at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships 2020, but due to the events of COVID-19 the 2020 Ironman and 70.3 Ironman World Championships were cancelled with dates for 2021 announced.
