LIVE from Ironman USA at Lake Placid: RACE DAY
Sunday Evening: The race is almost over. Reigning Champ Heather Fuhr was dethroned by Aussie Kate Major in her first Ironman Win in 9:24:42, followed by Fuhr and Joanna Lawn.
On the Men's side, Simon Lessing led the field with a winning time of 8:23:12, followed by Luke Bell and Courtney Ogden.
Good weather led to many stellar performances, and the WebMeister had a stellar swim (a personal best by over two minutes), a pathetic bike and a solid, steady run for an energetic 12:42 finish. Oh, and I got up on time this time around. A more detailed report will follow - now it's time to return to the Olympic oval and cheer in the last finishers as midnight approaches.
Tired and Happy,
- The WebMeister
