Belinda rocks the Rockies!

*Ironman Canada

After a solid swim that put her out of the water just a minute behind former All-America swimmer Andrea Fisher, Belinda Granger put on a cycling show that has never been matched at this historic race.

Her record-setting 4:52 split was seven minutes faster than Julianne White rode here in 1992. It also happened to be more than 11-minutes quicker than the next fastest cyclist in the women’s race, Ali Fitch.

The women many considered to be Granger’s most likely competition, Heather Wurtele and Lisa Bentley, found themselves starting the ride 19 and 30 minutes behind the Aussie.

Granger cruised through a 3:26 marathon (which she even split) and an impressive victory.
