That kid (9th overall) was a PRO from Canada...IronManLive accidently listed him as an Age Grouper... The race site has the correct results...

Stupid question.  You can actually qualify for the Ironman in Kona by doing well in a 70.3 event?  I though the 70.3 championships were in FL?

Certain races have Kona qualfying spots. The Lavaman Olympic has two Ironman slots that gets distributed by a lottery out of all the age group winners that want it. Then you just have to finish a HIM before a certain date.

I know the Honu HIM has 25 slots for Kona to BI residents and 10-15 for all other island residents. I am sure it has some regular slots as well.


To the OP, congrats to your son. That is an excellent accomplishment. PM me if you have any quesations about the Island of Hawaii.

That is just too cool! My kids are much younger, but I would LOVE it if some day they get interested in racing. They come and watch me from time to time, but haven't expressed much of an interest in trying it themselves yet...

Thanks, I always wondered how that works.  I had heard other mentions of it but never asked the question.

To the OP, congrats to the kid.
