Following in what has now become a familiar pattern, 52 year old Joe Bonness won yesterday’s race (9:38:34) - and in the process became the first competitor in Great Floridian’s 17 year history to take four wins. If that wasn’t impressive, add to it the fact that he took first in his age group just last week at Ironman Hawaii…. And he still has IM Florida (in two weeks) and the 70.3 championships on his race calendar for the rest of the year.
Second went to Jacob Kelly who was racing his first long-course event (9:54:08) and Scott Gac took third (9:56:01).
The women’s race was won by a first time iron distance racer as well. Sage LaJoie took first (11:17:48), second went to Anja Blume (11:33:02) and third to Marjorie Byron (11:37:29).
