Kate Bevilaqua of Australia topped amateur Claire Davis with a women's-best run to win this Indonesian half Ironman.
Men
Australian Clayton Fettell swam 22:28 to gain a 1:01 lead on fellow Aussie David Dellow, 1:59 on countryman Matthew Fox, 2:28 on Alexander Polizzi (also of Australia), and 2:31 on Fredrik Croneborg of Sweden. Australian Matt Burton was 3:50 arrears starting the bike.
On the largely flat, one loop 90km bike course which passes through villages, dense forest and coastal views, Croneborg caught four Australians – Dellow, Fettell, Polizzi and Fox – at 22km, trailed by Australian Matt Burton (+1:15) and New Zealander Cameron Brown (+1:54). After a race-best 2:05:16 bike split, Burton led at T2 by 2:35 over Fox, 2:38 over Polizzi, 2:40 over Croneborg, and 2:43 over Dellow.
On the first of three flat run laps around man-made Mogoi Bay Lake, Burton maintained a slimming 1:20 lead on Croneborg, Dellow, Fettell, Polizzi and Fox. After 14km, Croneborg whittled Burton’s lead to 9 seconds, followed by Fox (+1:22), Polizzi (+1:37) and Dellow (+4:10), while Fettell dropped out.
After a race-best 1:22:19 run in steamy heat, Croneborg finished in 3:59:28 with a 56 seconds margin of victory over Burton (3rd-best 1:25:50 run) and 2:06 over Fox (1:24:34 run).
