Honolulu’s Timothy Marr once again left his mark on the Tinman Triathlon.

Marr won the event for the sixth time in seven years Sunday, finishing in 1 hour, 46 minutes.

On the women’s side, Honolulu’s Nataliia Kravchuk won her first Tinman, crossing in 1:59:17 (12th overall).

The race course consisted of a 750-meter swim at Queen’s Beach, 40-kilometer bike from Kapiolani Park to Hawaii Kai and back, and 10K run from Kapiolani Park around Diamond Head.

Marr, 33, had the fastest swim (9:20) and bike (57:43), and was 9 minutes ahead of his nearest competitor entering the run.

"I work really hard on the swim and the bike," said Marr, whose six Tinman victories are the most in history. "I like to get a gap where it is out of sight, out of mind, and it’s hard (for other competitors) to come back from the gap I have after the swim and the bike."

Stewart Adair, a freshman at Brigham Young-Hawaii, finished a distant second in 1:53:36 and David Giardini was third in 1:54:16.

The Tinman was "basically a training day" for Marr, who will compete in the Ironman U.S. Championship in New York on Aug. 11.

"For me, it’s a big race," Marr said. "I’m a U.S. professional, but more importantly, I’m a Hawaii professional. I’m excited to represent Hawaii and the U.S. It’ll be a high-caliber race."

Marr said he’s hoping a strong showing in New York will qualify him for the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona on Oct. 13.

It was windy with intermittent showers during Sunday’s Tinman.

"I had to play it really conservative, especially on the corners and the turns and everything because it was dangerous," Marr said. "It was wet and there was a lot of white paint on the road, so I had to go pretty slow on those turns."

Adair, the runner-up, was too aggressive on the bike and took a spill.

"My bike went really well, except for that first turn," he said. "My bike slid out from under me. I didn’t realize it was going to be such a sharp turn. I got right back on the bike, made up some time and finished strong on the run."

Adair, who is from Mesa, Ariz., suffered minor scrapes to his elbow and knee. The 22-year-old is a member of the BYU-Hawaii cross-country team.

Kravchuk, the women’s winner, finished runner-up at last year’s Tinman.

"This was a race, I mentally prepared myself to win it," said Kravchuk, who is originally from Ukraine. "But once I started running, my legs were pretty tired."

Among female competitors, Kravchuk had the best times in the bike (1:06:56) and run (38:15).

Kravchuk suffered a stress fracture in her foot during the Great Aloha Run in late February. She said she was able to swim and bike regularly during training, but wasn’t able to do much running.

"I definitely improved my bike," Kravchuk said.

Honolulu’s Katherine Nichols finished second in 2:04:15 (20th overall) and Carly Killam finished third in 2:07:27 (28th).

Last year’s women’s winner, Rachel Ross, didn’t enter the Tinman because she is training for a race on the mainland.

Nichols, 46, won the Tinman in 1997 and 1998.

"It went very well, all things considered," she said. "It was a little windy and rainy, and a little scary on the turns, but overall I kept myself in control."

Six hundred twenty individuals and 34 relay teams competed in the event.
