Ironman China

It was a tough day for racing at Ironman China today with severe heat and humidity making for some very slow times. Rasmus Henning was in a class of his own until the last 10km where he slowed dramatically suffering from cramps.  Second went to Patrick Walliman in his first race as a professional. Jozsef Major had a tough day after his bike was lost and he had to ride on an unfamiliar one and he finished as the third placed professional. The rest of the professional men's field dropped off during the bike and the run leg and were beaten by age groupers and professional women.

Charlotte Paul was one of those women. Finishing 5th overall. Tereza Macel came off the bike with over a 15 minute lead but it didn't take long until Paul was in front. Niederfriniger also passed Macel for second place.
