I think she was 21st overall as well. incredible effort
She's an amazing athlete. Incredible time
Amazing stuff.
Can't imagine how many years off training it takes to get to that level of sub 9 hour Ironman.
Chris Domoney who I teach swimming with came 4th in the V60s. He finished with a 3:45 marathon!
Knowing Chris he'll be disapponted to have missed third place. Last time out there he got knocked off his bike on a training run and couldn't compete.

A little mention for my club mate Nicola King as well - member of Preston Tri I think - 12:44:49 - fantastic to be there, get round - and hope that she had a great time.
Make sure that you're back at Bolton for the Red Rose !
