Historical Anecdote of the Day

Gordon Haller, a US Navy Communications Specialist, was the first to earn the title Ironman by completing the course, with a time of 11 hours, 46 minutes, and 58 seconds. The runner-up John Dunbar, a US Navy SEAL, led after the second transition and had a chance to win but ran out of water on the marathon course and his support crew resorted to giving him beer instead.
