Timothy O’Donnell has been 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd in Kona. There is obviously one place missing on that list. Although this year, the dad of two has much more on his mind than winning the Ironman World Championship after suffering a major heart attack in 2021. Just being here on the start line is a victory.
