Australia’s Josh Amberger used an overall balanced attack to win Ironman 70.3 Singapore. Amberger hung out in second place during the swim (24:03) and bike (2:06:28), then outran (1:22:01) the group of four men (Russia’s Denis Vasiliev, New Zealand’s Dylan McNeice, and Australia’s Christian Kemp – who dropped out of the race during the run) around him to take the win in 3:54:49. Vasiliev finished second (3:59:25), and McNeice third (4:00:51).

Meanwhile, American May Beth Ellis got to the front with a 26:42 swim (2 minutes ahead of the second best swim by Kate Bevilaqua), and stayed there with a top bike of 2:17:45, and coasted in with a 1:32:07 run to win in 4:19:35. Australia’s Michelle Wu used the top run of the day (1:30:17) to take second (4:25:31) ahead of fellow Aussie Bevilaqua (4:32:19).
