Belinda Granger WINS Ironman 70.3 Hawaii 2009, Tim Marr finishes 4th

Congratulations to our Belinda Granger for winning Ironman 70.3 Hawaii today! (Swim: 27:08, Bike: 2:27:18, run 1:34:57, finishing @ 4:33:16)

Ceepo's Tim Marr finishes 4th @4:14:11!

Great job, Team Ceepo!
Here's a quote from the article on Ironman's website:

... In the women's field, two-year running Ironman 70.3 Hawaii champion Samantha McGlone was bested by 11-time Ironman-distance champion Belinda Granger. Granger came out of the water second behind the Big Island's Bree Wee, who posted the best swim time of the day in 26:36.

But Granger scorched the bike course in 2:27:18, with McGlone fighting back with a 2:30:05 split. Wee was third off the bike but dropped out shortly after the beginning of the run.

Granger took off onto the run course and never looked back, finishing the day in 4:33:16, with a run split of 1:34:57.
