At the inaugural Rev3 Branson70.3, in Missouri Ben Hoffman and Radka Vodickova came out as the champions. For Hoffman this was his first Rev3 start but already his 3rd title in Branson. He had won the race twice and finished once as the runner-up when this event was still an Ironman 70.3 race.

Vodickova on the other hand has had a few other Rev3 starts but this is her first win.
Ben Hoffman, Radka Vodickova break the tape at Rev3 Branson

Ben Hoffman of the U.S. ran away the men’s field and Czech Republic Olympian Radka Vodickova used a well-balanced race to dominate the women at the half distance Rev3 Branson.

Hoffman swam 26:07, 33 seconds behind super fish Eric Limkemann and 3 second better than Michael Poole, 44 seconds ahead of Rev 3 Maine winner Leon Griffin and 1:36 ahead of Kevin Collington. Hoffman kept his cool with a 4th-best 2:23:30 bike split that gave back a minute to Collington, 32 second to Griffin, and matched Michael Poole and Rev3 star Richie Cunningham in his first race back after serious bike crash injuries in July in Boulder.

Hoffman ended the suspense with a race-best 1:13:31 run that brought him to the finish in 4:05:00 with a 2:18 margin of victory over runner-up Collington (1:15:27 run) and 3:45 over 3rd-place finisher Griffin (1:17:09 run). Cunningham managed a 3rd-fastest 1:16:46 run to finish 7th.

Vodickova’s 26:37 swim split was 19 seconds behind leader Jennifer Spieldenner of the U.S. and gave her a 3:58 cushion on strong cyclist Rachel McBride of Canada. McBride’s race-best 2:40:47 bike split vaulted the Canadian to a 25 second lead on Vodickova at T2. Vodickova then sealed the deal with a race-fastest 1:22:45 run that brought her home in 4:36:38 with a 4:33 margin on runner-up Jennifer Spieldenner. After her great bike split, McBride cooled down with a 1:29:01 run that placed her 3rd overall.

ayer estuve con la cannondale cafeìna y hoy me mandò un mensaje blas para repetir con la MTB, pero èsta vez usè la cannondale rush.Sòlo estàbamos 3 blas con la trek angel con la giant y yo con la rush.

Ayer angel habia salido con la flaca para hacer 100km y hoy estaba cansado, pero blas no y tenìa ganas de guerra...

Salimos escopetados hacia la entrada del camping, luego nos fuimos hacia gran alacant y subimos paralelos a la carretera de santa pola. Luego senderos de gloria primero los que conocìa blas y luego los que habìa explorado hace un mes y que nos llevaron cerca de la casa del samoyedo blanco. Por la "autopista " hacia santa pola para bajar el barranco y subirlo con dificultad para volver al bosquecillo . Vamos el sendero y hacemos el sendero del ex presi hacia la zona del set de la peli de asterix y luego nos vamos hacia el tistiu . Lo atravesamos y bajamos a toda leche la trialera que llega màs abajo de la torre de vigìa. Subimos a la torre y nos tomamos una barrita. Estamos cansados y le decimos a blas que no nos lleve por la trialera de las antenas pero no tiene piedad y la hacemos. Llegamos al faro y bajamos paralelos a la valla. Seguimos por el recorrido del du cross santa pola y blas gira en directo hacia la carretera asfaltada que bajamos a toda màquina. Va subiendo un ciclista con flaca andando , le preguntamos si ha pinchado y dice que va al faro....dònde vas?....manzanas traigo ..
Bajamos por la trialera de ceci y llegamos al gran alacant . Rodeamos el clot y llegamos con plato grande al altet . Tardamos 2h y media muy trabajadas...
