#GBKona 2018: ALL of the GB & Ireland Female Age-Group results

How did the #GBKona Age-Group WOMEN perform on Saturday in Hawaii?

Here are ALL of the results of the GB & Ireland entrants

If you followed the races live or have since read our Pro reports (MEN ! WOMEN), you’ll know that it was quite a day at the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii on Saturday.

Our extensive coverage continues – and here we take a look at the British and Irish Age-Group results from the Big Island. ALL of them!

Below you will find two tables featuring the results of every entrant, ordered initially by overall time, and then by category in the second table. As I’m typing this, a select few have been collecting the coveted Umeke trophies at the Awards Banquet – and the after-party at Huggo’s on the Rocks will be going on late into the night!

The fastest #GBKona female overall was Ruth Purbrook. We interviewed Ruth before the race (HERE), who – after third place last year – was fully aiming to win this year, having “…invested so much (mentally, emotionally, hours wise, financially!), that I want to see the hard work pay off”. That investment paid off, and Ruth is now the Female 25-29 Age-Group World Champion. Ruth was also the third fastest female across al Age-Group categories.

The second fastest #GBKona athlete was also in that F25-29 category, with Katherine Renouf (9th, 10:04:39), while the third fastest Brit was another athlete we profiled before the race, Tara Grosvenor (13th, F30-34, 10:08:09).

More details coming soon in a separate piece to celebrate the 2018 #GBKona podium finishers.
