Shea-Kenney, Pontano Victorious in Lake Placid
By Betsy Delcour
7/20/2008
In conditions not unlike those seen last week at the Iron distance races in Europe, over 2500 people started at the 10th Anniversary Ironman Lake Placid in upstate New York. In fact, conditions here may have been a bit worse, as the rain began before the race started and never seemed to let up all day.
THE MEN
Francisco Pontano very nearly would have led from gun to finish today, but the great cyclist Bjorn Andersson refused to make things easy for him. Pontano led out of the water in 46:07; he was followed by James Bonney, Mathias Hecht and Bjorn Andersson. Very quickly on the bike, it became a two man race between Pontano and Andersson through the dumping rain. Once Andersson, notably riding a Cervelo and wearing K-Swiss apparel, passed Pontano, most spectators expected that to be it for the bike race. But Pontano never let Andersson ride away, even reclaiming the lead at various points. Although Andersson was first into T2 with his bike time of 4:42, Pontano was a mere 3 seconds behind him. They exited T2 nearly side-by-side, but it didn't take much time for Pontano to build a gap on the Swede. And that gap just continued to grow. Pontano ran uncontested to the win in 8:43:32. Andersson unfortunately dropped out of contention during the marathon. Perhaps one of the other great stories of the day became Petr Vabrousek's run up to second place (2:58 marathon) - having placed 6th at Ironman Switzerland just last weekend; he finished today in 8:55:20. Mathias Hecht rounded out the podium at 8:56:33.
