Ironman Florida

1st Nov 2008, USA

 

Most notable here was Tom Evans setting a new course record at 40 years old.

This is greatly inspirational and is the fastest time for this distance set by anyone over 40.

 

Bella comerford also made it 5 ironman Florida titles so this looks like 'her race'.

Great to see Julie Dibens backing up her win from last year. Thes British woman look strong if you think of this and Chrissy Wellington(and Sam Warriner for that matter).

Also great to Eneko Llanos competing and placing 6th after his great 2nd in Kona 2 weekends prior.

Huatulco BG Triathlon World Cup.

Mexico.

October 26th 2008

Great to see Kiwis taking out the first place in both the mens and womans races. This is not a common feat, but bet they were wishing this form was there at the humidity of Beijing a few months back.

The times were not fast as you can see below. Race temperatures of over 33 degrees and 98% humidity was enough to slow all the athletes down.
