Battling the Heat at Ironman Wisconsin

Kevin Mackinnon provides IronmanLive.com's report on the wins by Andriy Yastrebov and Ute Mueckel on a hot, windy day.

Inside Triathlon reports that the fourth edition of Ironman Wisconsin proved torturous for pros and age-groupers. "Not a soul dipped beneath nine hours and hundreds of athletes missed the bike cut-off. Heat, humidity, and stiff winds accompanied the incessant, rolling hills and followed athletes all the way to the med tent, where many ended their day."

The Wisconsin State Journal and The Daily Cardinal also have stories.
