Tim DeBoom (right), two time Ironman world champion, finished first in the Rohto Ironman 70.3 Hawaii race on Saturday, crossing the Honu Pointe finish line at the Fairmont Orchid in 4 hours, 4 minutes and 2 seconds. It was the first time the 40 year old Boulder, Colorado triathlete competed in the race.
Last year’s women victor, 40 year old Belinda Granger of Noosa Heads in Queensland, Australia, repeated as champion with a first place finish of 4 hours 34 minutes and 38 seconds.
The Ironman 70.3 is a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run triathlon, which is half the distance of the Ford Ironman World Championship. Along with the honor of finishing the race itself, the event is a means to an even greater opportunity… a limited number of coveted, qualifying slots to compete in the Ironman World Championship held in Kona in October. 28 qualifying slots were up for grabs for all athletes, while 24 qualifying slots were available to Big Island athletes that meet the residency requirements. An additional 20 slots were reserved for top finishing neighbor island athletes.
