Australian Kona rookie Josh Amberger proceeded almost immediately to put a sizable gap on the men's field in the swim in Kailua Bay. Defending champi more

South African pro James Cunnama sometimes thinks about afternoons as he prepares for this year’s IRONMAN World Championship. "Everything is seen through the Kona-prep filter. Every. Single. Thing," says the 34-year-old. "The race is considered in every single decision, even things far outside of racing—like how to spend a Sunday afternoon." The afternoon of Saturday, October 14th particularly is on his mind. That’s when Cunnama will seek to ride the momentum of an already-impressive season onto more

The first at Ironman Cairns (Asia-Pacific Championship) out splitting noted American biker Sarah Piampiano, and then running down UK’s Lucy Charles at Ironman Frankfurt (European C more

Some may have called this the victory of a dark horse, but that's not the whole truth. Van Lierde is one of the most consistent athletes in the world of IRONMAN—something he has proved with four wins at the tough IRONMAN France. Van Lierde’s win in Kona was only a more
