Aussies dominate Hawaiian Ironman
October 22, 2006 04:17pm
A DECADE after famously declaring she would never race the Hawaiian Ironman, Michellie Jones today became only the second Australian to win triathlon's most famous race.
Australia enjoyed its greatest day in the history of the Ironman-distance world championship, with Chris McCormack taking second behind Germany's two-time champion Normann Stadler as they produced the third-closest men's finish in race history.
It was McCormack's best result at Hawaii with compatriot Luke Bell seventh, giving the two Australians their second top-10 finishes in Kona.
The five Australian-born top-10 women from last year also repeated the feat.
Apart from Jones, Austrian national Kate Allen was fifth, Kate Major took sixth, Belinda Granger finished eighth and Melissa Ashton was ninth.
Michellie Jones split
Swim 2.4 miles 54 min 29 secs
Bike 112 miles 5 hours 5 minutes 6 secs
Run 26.2 miles 3 hours 13 minutes 8 secs
total time 9 hours 18 minutes 31 seconds
WELL DONE

That is awesome, when you think of what an ironman triathlon involves to finish one is awesome, let alone finish it in around 9 hours.....
Congrats to everyone who finished the bastard at Kona....
