  • NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 Von Richard Kapun
    NACHBETRACHTUNG IRONMAN HAWAII 2000 von Richard Kapun IRONMAN MIT MUMUKU Der 24. Ironman auf Big Island, Hawaii fand unter verschärften Wetterbedingungen statt. Der gefürchtete Passatwind Mumuku mutierte zum Spielverderber und verhinderte ein Rennen der Rekorde. Dennoch gab es mit dem Kanadier Peter Reid und der Schweizerin Natascha Badmann erwartete Sieger. Wieder Kanada und die Schweiz Wie bei den Olympischen Spielen baumeln auf Big Island die kanadische und die schweizer Flagge am höchsten. Schon zum zweiten Mal standen Reid und Badmann auf der obersten Stufe des Siegertreppchens in Kona. Vor 2 Jahren durften sich die beiden ebenfalls gegenseitig gratulieren. Der 24. Ironman Hawaii wurde vom gefürchteten Passatwind Mumuku stark beeinflußt. Vor allem auf dem Rad waren die Teilnehmer mit einer böigen Naturgewalt konfrontiert. Der Auftaktbewerb im Pazifik vor der Westküste der größten hawaiischen Insel Big Island verlief noch reibungslos und plangemäß. Der Tag begann morgens um 7 mit 29 Grad Celsius und 50 % Luftfeuchtigkeit. Vom 3 kmh langsamen Wind war im Wasser noch nichts zu spüren. Der US-Amerikaner John Westin gewann den Sprint der schnellsten Vierergruppe am Ende der ersten Teilstrecke (49:44 Min.). Dahinter Rukoshuev/USA und sein Landsmann James Bonney. Neben Bonney an vierter Stelle die schnellste Frau, Barb Lindquist/USA. Alle 4 blieben knapp unter 50 Minuten für die 3,8 Auftaktkilometer. Der 44-jährige Ex-Schwimmer John Westin schwamm am schnellsten (49:44) beim Ironman Hawaii 2000. Im nachfolgenden Reigen wurden die ersten Favoriten im Sekundentakt an Land gespült. Zuerst die DeBoom-Brüder dann der Brite Spencer Smith. Von den deutschen Herausforderern nahm Ralph Eggert als Schnellster sein Rad in die Hand.
