Recapping Ironman Boulder in pictures

On a chilly morning in Boulder, Colorado, thousands of athletes dipped their toes into the Boulder Reservoir and completed a full day of racing – a 3.8K swim, 180K bike and 42.2K run.

At the end of the day, Lauren Brandon and Matt Hanson were victorious. For Brandon, it was the first Ironman win of her career. In 2018, she finished second at Ironman Mont-Tremblant. While Hanson stayed close to the front on the bike and made his move on the run.

Triathlon Magazine Canada contributor, Jordan Bryden, was at Ironman Boulder and compiled a gallery from the event.
