SO it was great to see a race in this type of weather, it certainly shuffles the deck on who wins, does well, and podiums. I have said all along that if Ironman Kona was ever in weather like this, there would certainly be a different group at the front. Probably me and Molina sprinting for the win!!!
I just have to wonder that if Gwen had been there if this wasn't the time for he to have won this iconic race? She has done will in these conditions in triathlon, and just being an OW swimmer that swims in cold water all the time, well it wouldn't have caused he that much stress, at least as compared to the others. I'm now wondering too if the weather was the real reason that Jordan pulled out of the race, perhaps she is terrible like most in these conditions?
Anyway it was an ironman run out there for sure, two most unlikely winners in times that would not win most local races. I know it would have been a great day for me, who else???
