This year, Ironman drew 1,778 athletes to the start line, with 1,653 crossing the finish line before the 17 hour cut off. If you want to see who holds the distinction of being the 2009 final Ironman, just click on the link below.

The athletes came from 46 states and something like 60 countries (the actual, real, official count varied all day between 57, 58 and, at one point, was up to 61 – depending on who you asked).

And we can look forward to doing this all again next year. Ironman is committed to bringing the race back to Kona for its 32nd annual running and a Ironman spokeswoman said the World Triathlon Corporation has no plans to move the race from the Big Island.
