The Outrigger Resorts Double
The “Outrigger Resorts Double” award is given to the pro and amateur man and woman with the fastest combined 2015 XTERRA World Championship and Ironman Hawaii Championship time, a feat reserved for the world’s leading endurance athletes. Pro athletes are awarded US $2,500 with the top amateur man and woman win a 6-night stay at a Maui Outrigger Resort. All double finishers earn a commemorative tee.
Bart Aernouts from Belgium won the men’s elite title with a combined time of 11:07:24 last year. Janez Klancnik from Slovenia won the men’s amateur double in 12:42:03, and Nicole Valentine of Maryland overcame a 16-minute deficit after Ironman to take the women’s amateur double over Kelley Hess.
With Ironman Worlds taking place on Saturday here’s a look at the athletes we know of that are registered to race in both events. Next week we’ll gather times from Ironman to set the stage for Double competition finale in Maui on November 1. We also expect to add a few elites like Brent McMahon and Ben Hoffman to the list…
