COMPETITOR.COM

Dave McGillivray, race director of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon, made a triumphant return to the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii on Saturday after a 25-year absence from the event. Now 60 and battling coronary heart disease, McGillivray finished the 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike leg and 26.2-mile run in 13 hours, 34 minutes and 3 seconds while persisting through some of the most difficult wind, sun and heat conditions in the 36-year history of one of the world’s toughest endurance events.
