she won!




"Ironman Kona Hawaii 2008
Britain's Chrissie Wellington won her second consecutive women's title, finishing in 9:06:23. She overcame a flat tire that cost her 10 minutes on the bike ride.

She had a 5-minute lead when her tire went flat. Rebekah Keat of Australia came to the rescue with a spare canister of air, and Wellington quickly regained the lead."That was the hardest thing I've ever done,"

Wellington said. "It didn't go exactly to plan. I had a good swim and felt strong in the first phases of the bike."

She thanked Keat, saying, "She's a legend.""


But it was the true sportsman(woman)ship that was demonstrated by Keat that impressed me. in such a competitive edge, she decides to help her rival competitor to register a win. true olympic spirit.

Anyway, chrissie won. haha.

but chris retired from the race. sad.
