Chris Leiferman (Boulder, Colo.) and Jen Spieldenner (Findlay, Ohio) took the top honors at this year’s IRONMAN Louisville with finishing times of 7:34:08 and 8:43:22, respectively. Officials shortened the swim course due to rising water levels.

Sam Long (Boulder, Colo.) finished in second place for the men with a time of 7:39:21 while Greg Close (Brooklyn, NY) rounded out the podium in third with a time of 7:42:55.

On the women’s side, Michaela Herlbauer (Hallein, Austria) finished second with a time of 8:45:29 and Lisa Roberts (Tucson, Ariz.) finished third with a total time of 8:46:15.
