Uploaded by RunnersWorldTVSweden on Nov 25, 2011
First day of racing is done for Jonas Colting and the other Ultraman athletes. Jonas is in a solid lead with over 20 minutes to Mike Coughlin. Total time today for Jonas was 7:15:50.
- I had a great day even though I feel dead tired right now! Regardless of how good of a day you here this first stage is going to beat you up.
Weather on the west side of Big Island was warm but turning at south point clouds started to appear.
- The toughest part of the day is without a doubt the last 25 miles with a steady climb to the finish. The wind turned in the last five miles and I thought it would never end! I´m happy to be in the lead but there´s still a lot of racing to be done. I go in to day two very humble and un-assuming and will take the day as it comes, Jonas says.
Jonas Colting has won Ultraman World Championships twice, 2004 and 2007. In 2010 Jonas came second despite illness and rasperotory problems. Jonas Colting holds the existing swim record from 2004: 2:14:43 and has the second best total time overall: 21:41:49.
