An amazing race day in Kona is behind us with Craig Alexander and Chrissie Wellington taking the titles. Crowie broke Luc Van Lierde's 15-year old course record as he won his 3rd Ironman Hawaii, and Chrissie Wellington overcame a large deficit after the swim to take her 4th win in Kona and remains thus unbeaten when starting an Ironman race. Quite impressive when considering she recently had a pretty hard bike crash.
But there was much more going on and here is a selection of images from this inspirational day. We'll add more galleries later.
