After finishing the 2.4-mile swim, Chris Legh was six minutes behind the leaders. Despite not keeping fluids down, he rode his way to the lead pack and headed out on the run. Around mile 16 of the marathon, Legh could tell something was seriously wrong, but he didn’t realize just h...
Add this 40-foot distance to the length of the bikes, and the agreed upon draft zone enforced in Kona is about 13.5 meters, well beyond the 10-meter figure that is on the books. 36. A 500-foot climb starting at mile 53 of the bike brings the athletes to the highest...
