Ben Hoffman celebrated his first Ironman win (8:29:41) in Lake Placid on July 25th, while Petr Vabrousek finished 2nd (8:46:33). Hoffman came off the bike seconds behind defending men's champion Maik Twelsiek and ran his way to the win.

On the run course Hoffman stayed just behind Twelsiek through the first six miles, then started to pull away to a convincing win. Behind him Petr Vabrousek was putting together an impressive race – his 2:53 marathon would be enough to get him passed Twelsiek for an impressive second-place finish. Both athletes where racing in SLS3 compression sleeves.

Jocelyn Wong of Team TBB toughed it out for 9th place in the women's field, having raced every weekend for the past months.
