The North American Half Ironman championship was Saturday, and the men's race had what people are calling the best battle in a decade. Watching the race reviews from the competitors is amazing. First and second place went stride for stride for the last 5k with the winner pulling away only in the last half mile. These are guys doing sub-5 minute miles at the end of a nearly 4 hour event.

If you're into that sort of thing, Lionel Sanders' video is worth a watch.
