Thanks for posting.
There are some pretty classic quotes at the finish line.
“Why would I be disappointed, I just had the best race of my life”
“People say it comes down to the run....it’s not, every single race they win, it’s on the bike”
We could use more of this fire from current day pros.

I love how Molina gave Dave Kirk credit for his ride.It shows respect for Dave's Ironman Canada win the year before.
Only three weeks after this race Dave led Ironman Canada all the way from the swim to just after the halfway turn on the run at Okanagan Falls until his run let him down again and he had an epic meltdown and finished in an ambulance.My old Ultra-mate Tom Price was on hand in second place to help Dave that day and stopped running to help Dave out until the media and ambulance arrived.Only after they told Tom that everything was okay did he continue with his run to end up win his second Ironman Canada .There are so many awesome stories about the races back in those days that keep the old guard as close to each other as they were all those years ago.
Pretty typical of prankster Tinley to do something funny like flash his butt at Dave.Classic stuff.
