IronMan Mallorca 2014
Two more Manx athletes completed their first Ironman this weekend at the holiday Island of Mallorca, although I am guessing it was no holiday!
Riszard Komasa of the NSC representing his home country Poland did a tremendous swim, considering it was non wetsuit, in 1:02:08. A bike of 5:45:51 and run of 4:17:51 gave an overall time of 11:15:42. This was good enough for 133rd in age group (M40-44) and 704 overall.
Also on their first full distance race was a well prepared Gaynor Evans. Her splits were: Swim 1:18:36, Bike 7:54:47, and run 4:42:41 giving an overall time of 14:17:25.
18th in age group (W50-54) and 1,792 overall. 2,554 athletes took part.
The event was won by Britain’s Tim Don in 8:34:02.
