For obvious reasons, the lion’s share of the coverage of the 2012 Ironman World Championships is dedicated to the winners of the Pro race. However, 2044 athletes started the Ironman World Championships. Many were content with just being part of one of the greatest days in triathlon. However, a few were gunning for Age Group victories. Below are the Top Three – where applicable – finishers from every category of the race and their splits (the numbers, as you might expect, are ordered: swim, bike, run, total). There are some lightning quick times in there on what was a hot, windy day on the Big Island. Hats off in particular to Germany’s Christian Muller, the only Age Grouper to go sub-9 (8:54:17) and Japan’s Hiromu Inada, winner of a hotly contested 80+ category (15:38:25).
