Full GB & Ireland Pro/Age Group results - Kona 2013: MEN

In the lead up to the 2013 Ironman World Championships in Kona we highlighted the full listing of GB & Ireland entrants who had made it to the big island of Hawaii.

We've looked at the (superb) results of the British ladies - now here are the 'scores on the doors' for the Great Britain and Ireland men who raced in Kona this year.

The were two British Pro entrants this year, and first home in 17th place was Paul Amey in a time of 8:39:20, with Daniel Halksworth making his debut at the Ironman World Championships with an 8:49:33 for 24th Pro male.

As with 2012, the first British Age Group athlete across the line was Sam Baxter - matching that feat of his Team Freespeed Virgin Active team mate Catherine Faux in the ladies race. Last year Sam recorded 9:15:33 which was enough for 4th place (and a 'Umeke' trophy) in the M25-29 Age Group. This year Sam moved up to M30-34 and went over ten minutes faster (9:04:10), and yet that was 'only' good enough for 15th in his Age Group. Incredible strength in depth.

From an Irish perspective, David Condon (9:13:41, 13th in M35-39) was the first over the line from the Emerald isle, with Martin Muldoon, Matt Molloy and Owen Martin all finishing in under 9:30.

While there was much 'heated discussion' about whether chef Gordon Ramsay should have been given a disrectionary/celebrity start in the World Championships, he completed the course in 14:04:48 with splits of 1:21:20 / 6:35:54 / 5:48:21. That left him 221st of 237 finishers in M45-49.
