Peter methodically distanced himself from his competition on the run during the 2003 Hawaii Ironman World Championships on his way to securing his third World Championship.

Getting out of the water in 50:36 and then keeping the "Reid chase pack" honest all day, Peter was a marked man throughout the 112 miles. No one was willing to let him break from the pack and they remained content to mark his every move. This resulted in Peter getting off the bike with the world... (maybe 12-15 guys) With his trademark running style, arms high and running off the balls of his feet you knew he was going to smack out a great run that day.

Peter played Pac-Man early to put himself in a position to duke it out for the lead before he left Dodge (Kona). Just before the run hits the Queen K heading out of town Peter took the the lead... a lead that he would never relinquish. Putting together a 2:47 marathon left the closest competitor some five plus minutes to the rear. Peter and brought this puppy home in 8:22 clocking with the fastest run of the day!
Can we say "Three - Pete."
