Argonaut, 3-time IRONMAN World Champion and 2-time IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Craig “Crowie” Alexander signed his second win on his second event of the season at Sunday’s IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya, Malaysia, in brutally hot conditions, with temperatures reaching 32 °C.
After winning at IRONMAN 70.3 Subic Bay earlier in March, the 42-year-old champion proved once again that he is capable of competing with—and beating—some of the best triathletes in the world.
In order to do so, Alexander put together a 25:25 swim, a 2:08:52 bike and a 1:17:31 half-marathon, giving him the victory in 3:55:36, in front of Australia’s Josh Amberger and Great Britain’s Stuart Hayes.
