Fast swimmers Andy Potts and Benjamin Sanson crest the first hill on the bike
Potts had a great race today, placing 7th in the world at his first ever Ironman
Some early race congestion...
Faris early in the bike
Chris Lieto making his moves early. He and Torbjorn would trade the lead back and forth for much of the bike.
Macca looking focused. Unfortunately a snapped front derailleur cable would end his day early.
Michael Lovato looking very lean on the bike
Normann did not dominate as usual on the bike, due to some "heavy legs" in the first half
Though he stayed off the radar for much of the race, Rutger ended up having a great day
Luke Bell on the bike. Unfortunately he would end up dropping out today.
Petr Vabrousek getting gobbled up by a pack
Once dominant in Kona, we were all happy just to see Natascha Badmann once again on her Cheetah Cat this year.
Also making a comeback to Kona this year was Nina Kraft
Chrissie Wellington, very comfortable on her P2C
Dede Griesbauer, sailing through on her bike
K-Swiss' Kim Loeffler on the bike
