John completed the UK Ironman on Sunday 21st August in an overall time of 12 hours 40 minutes 48 seconds. His splits were - swim 1.03.38, T1 9.05, Cycle 6.40.29, T2 5.36, Run 4.41.57 . (John's marathon run was about an hour off his previous run times).

The start of the race was delayed by 2 hours due to mist on the water, though it was a good run after it started.

It was a hilly cycle route over the usual assortment of road surfaces. For the inaugural UK Ironman it  was well organised with a lot of roads closed off to allow  safe cycling and running. John managed a top speed on the bike of 41mph.
