Competitor dies in swim leg of Boulder Ironman triathlon

It was the third death in four years of Ironman competitions in Boulder.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — An athlete died a day after he was pulled from the water during the Boulder Ironman 70.3 triathlon in Colorado. It was the third death in four years of Ironman competitions in Boulder.

A witness, physician Donald Cain from Wisconsin, told the Daily Camera in Boulder that a man was pulled from the water on Saturday, and Ironman officials say the athlete died Sunday. The Boulder County coroner identified the man as 50-year-old Scott Michaelis, of Wichita, Kansas.

A 70.3 triathlon, or half Ironman, involves swimming 1.2 miles (1.9 kilometers), biking 56 miles (90 kilometers) and running 13.1 miles (21 kilometers).

Thirty-four-year-old Michelle Walters, of McCook, Nebraska, died after being struck by a vehicle during the 2016 race, and 40-year-old Brian Godlove of Fairfax, Virginia, died three days after a 2015 race from dehydration and muscle tissue breakdown.

LOOK: Enchong Dee survives jellyfish encounter

What do Jennylyn Mercado, Enchong Dee, and Anne Curtis have in common? A close encounter with jellyfish!

Kapamilya talent Enchong Dee was lucky to have survived his jellyfish encounter.

The Chinito hottie recently shared on Instagram Stories that the sea creature penetrated his wetsuit.

It can be recalled that Anne Curtis was also stung by a deadly box jellyfish on a beach in Batangas back in 2014.

Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado was also attacked by this sea creature while shooting for a scene in Rhodora X in a yacht club in Subic.

Ironman ipahigayon sa Cebu hangtod 2020

GIPASALIGAN sa mga tigpasiugda sa bag-o lang nahuman nga Ironman 70.3 triathlon event si Gob. Hilario Davide III nga ang Sugbo gihapon maoy ilang gitan-aw nga host o lugar sa susama nilang kalihukan sa sunod tuig.

Ang organizers sa Ironman ug ang event sponsors niini, nagpinirmahay og kasabutan nga magsiguro nga ang Sugbo maoy mo-host sa kompetisyon hangtod sa tuig 2020.

Kini bisan pa man sa nasugatan nga kakulian sa rota sa Ironman karong tuiga diin duha ka mga lokalidad sa Sugbo ang ningbalibad nga maagi-an ang ilang lugar sa lumba.

Human sa malampuson nga pagpahigayon sa kompetisyon niadtong Domingo, gitug-an ni Davide nga nag-istorya sila mismo sa mga organizer.

Unang nibalibad si Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña nga magamit isip kabahin sa rota sa bike leg ang South Road Properties (SRP) tungod sa trapik nga posibleng ibunga niini sa ubang dapit sa dakbayan.

Dihang giplanuhan ang paghimo sa kadalanan sa amihanang Sugbo nga rota, nibalibad usab si Liloan Mayor Christina Frasco sanglit moresulta man kini sa pagkatanggong sa iyang mga konstituwente ug uban pang taga-norte, nunot sa road closure.

Sigun ni Davide, ang mga organizer ug mismo ang mga atleta ang kinahanglang mo-adjust kon ugaling subling mahitabo ang maong kakulian.

Masaligon ang gobernador nga dili na makasugat og mga kakulian ang posibleng pagpahigayon na usab sa Ironman dinhi sa Sugbo sunod tuig ug mas maandam na sa pag-host niini ang mga lokalidad dinhi sa Sugbo.

Naglaum si Davide nga mahuman na ang underpass project sa Mambaling sa dakbayan sa Sugbo aron dunay alternatibong agianan ang mga padulong ug gikan sa habagatang Sugbo, kon ugaling mapagamit na ang SRP sa Ironman. AZDL

Actor Enchong Dee was stung by a jellyfish during the swimming leg of a triathlon event he participated in over the weekend, he revealed on Instagram Monday.

Dee, 29, showed the sting marks on the side of his abdomen in an Instagram Stories update, writing, "So apparently jellyfish partyed inside my trisuit yesterday."

The competitive swimmer asked his followers on the site to share with him suggestions on "how I can get rid of all the marks [as soon as possible]."

Dee was one of the participants in the Regent Aguila Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championships, which was held last Sunday in Lapu-Lapu City. Second off the water, Dee beat his personal record of 31:04 with 28:12, he revealed in a separate post.

Dee did not appear seriously hurt from the jellyfish sting. In subsequent updates, he shared behind-the-scenes photos of the primetime series "The Blood Sisters," in which he stars opposite Erich Gonzales, Ejay Falcon and AJ Muhlach.

He went on to thank those who messaged him to give tips on addressing the sting marks from the jellyfish. He said, "I'm using some of your suggestions for a faster recovery."

Dee, whose injury from the jellyfish encounter appeared minor, was fortunate compared to a similar incident involving fellow Kapamilya star Anne Curtis, who experienced "vomiting, extreme pain and delirium" after being stung by the deadly box jellyfish in 2014.
