While the women’s field at Sunday’s Ironman 70.3 Pucón was not deep, it did contain a couple key contenders. Going into the race, many expected the duel to be between last year’s winner, American Heather Gollnick, and Teamtbb member Tereza Macel. Both Macel and Gollnick posted strong swim times, and it looked early on that it would be a two-person battle for the title. Lovato came out of the water with a time of 29:17, and had her work cut out for her if she wanted to be a podium contender. Lovato posted a solid bike split, but was still minutes back from the lead pack. The winning leg of the women’s race proved to be the run, as Lovato posted by far the fastest run split of the group at 1:29:32 to take the win at 4:36:10. Gollnick followed at 4:41:36, with Macel claiming third at 4:46:20.
