Things didn’t go exactly as planned at Chattanooga’s first Ironman. But nothing — not Mother Nature nor devious pranksters; not even the discovery of a dead body — could dampen the city’s excitement during one of the largest sporting events ever hosted in the Scenic City.
More than 2,300 athletes entered the water just after 7 a.m. Sunday, swimming to the sound of roaring cheers. Onlookers from across the globe crowded the banks of the Tennessee River and fans across the city didn’t fall silent until after midnight, when the last athletes crossed the finish line.
