If you are a triathlete, there is no bigger day in this sport than the Ford Ironman World Championship. Tens-of-thousands of triathletes try to get one of those coveted Ironman spots every year. Only 1,800 succeeded. Two of these individuals are Finish Strong coached athletes David Molthen and Jerry Palmer.
These two got to to test themselves on one of the biggest challenges the sports world has to offer ... 2.4-miles of swimming, 112-miles of biking, and a 26.2-mile marathon run through tough ocean waves, and challenging lava-covered terrain.
Jerry Palmer finished this grueling race in 14:16:13. He swam the 2.4 mile ocean course in 1:34:23. Then on to complete the 112-mile bike in 7:01:08. Finally, Jerry ran the final marathon in 5:25:18.
Dave Molthen finished in 13:24:29. His splits were 1:19:17 for the 2.4 mile ocean swim, 6:50:08 for the 112-mile bike, and 5:00:16 for the final marathon run.
Congratulations to Jerry and Dave! What an amazing accomplishment!
