Ironman Hawaii 2022

Norway's Gustav Iden took the win at the 2022 Hawaii Ironman World Championships in his first try on the Big Island and second Ironman ever in a time of ...

At mile 22, Iden gave Laidlow a pat on the back to let him know his time at the front was up. Between miles 11 and 16, the Norwegians’ march toward Laidlow started to stall as the Frenchman found a way to staunch the bleeding. As he made his way out the Queen K, it seemed as if he found a pace he could comfortably sustain. At the halfway point, they found themselves in fifth and sixth place, with elder statesman Kienle offering words of encouragement to the young Dane as they ran together. As Laidlow made his way up the Palani climb, his pace slowed to 6:23. Laidlow set out on the run with a target on his back. As the men’s pro field moved through T2, the field shifted from large packs to a steady trickle. Further back, Wurf, Kienle, and Chevalier led a rally to try to get within striking distance of the front, putting 2:20 into the Norwegian group over a span of over 10 miles. With each passing mile, Sanders saw the race get away from him as his position slipped from 4:42 down out of the water to 7:13 by mile 30. At mile 30 on the bike, the massive groups continued through the rolling hills on the way to Hawi. Laidlow was the one to take charge in the initial miles of the bike, setting an average pace of 27 miles per hour over the first 25 miles. Instead, a staggering 19 pros exited the water within 15 seconds of each other, led by Angert in 48:15 and Laidlow in 48:16.

The Ironman World Championship returned after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID 19-pandemic. (It was the rescheduled race of the 2021 Ironman in Kona that was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic). He was oh so close to pulling off the victory and proud of his runner-up finish. He carried the Norwegian flag over the finish line and congratulated Iden and Laidlow before collapsing from exhaustion. Iden also is a two-time winner of the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, winning in 2019 and 2021. Iden finished the 112-mile bike course in 4:11:06 to stay within striking distance of Laidlow, who was second out of the water and took the race lead early in the bike. Laidlow began the run with a solid 6 minute plus lead on second-place Blumenthal, who was the race favorite after winning the Ironman World Championship in May in St. To be giving his best effort against athletes he looked up to his whole life was all he said he could ask for. After crossing the finish line, the traditional haku crown was put on his head and a maile lei around Iden’s neck. Iden said before the race he thought he had a good plan for the course. “The last 10K was really about the legend of the Ironman killing me. On any other day, the second-, third- and fourth-place finishers would have thought their times would have been good enough to win.
