Ironman Hawaii 2001
Top 10 Finishers

Ironman Hawaii 2001 turned out to be one of the slowest, if not the slowest, in history. The swim times were slow and the bike was extremely windy. Both those factors, along with high humidity, helped keep the run times slow. The conditions make Tim DeBoom's winning time of 8:31 (a 15 minute margin of victory), which included a three minute penalty, that much more impressive. DeBoom finished to chants of USA, while Cam Brown had a breakthrough second place performance. Several big names DNF'd, including Peter Reid, Luc van Lierde, Dave Scott, and Joanna Zieger. Most people were just happy to finish.
