Rohto Ironman Boulder 70.3 2010

Sunday, Aug. 8, 2010, (Boulder, Colo.) American Andy Potts and Great Britain's Julie Dibens celebrated victory today at the inaugural Rohto Ironman 70.3 Boulder Triathlon. Potts, an Olympian and 2007 Ironman 70.3 World Champion, took the title in 3:46:50. Dibens, the current Ironman 70.3 World Champion, crossed the line in 4:19:46.

Potts, who was first out of the water, was among two-time Ironman World Champion and Boulder resident, Tim DeBoom, Australia's Stephen Hackett and Bermuda's Tyler Butterfield. Hackett took the lead early in the bike and entered T2 in front, but was overtaken by Potts before the first run aid station. Butterfield's 1:15:21 half-marathon provided the fastest run split of the day and a second-place finish.

Dibens showed her strength in all three disciplines and lead the women's race from start to finish. Exiting the water four seconds ahead of American Rebecca Witinok-Huber, Dibens maintained a blistering 25-mph pace on the bike, completing the 56 miles in 2:12:53. She began the run more than five minutes ahead of the next competitor and added another Ironman 70.3 victory to her resume.
