Looks like he wAs having a good one at 8k 24 mins but the finished 33mins?? That's about 7 min pace. Did he fall?

I noticed this as well. He was 24:11 at 8k, and I didn't count to see where that was but it seems to be mid-30s maybe. His last 2k was 9:09. He took longer to run the last 2k than he did the 3k before that. It must have been pretty bad, and if so, I am impressed that he finished.
Chenworth?? Really??
Its Chenoweth
I saw someone finishing near the back that was wobble legged (like the video of the ironman guys). After looking at the results, it could have been Chenoweth.
I saw him just past the 9k and he started "The Walk" at that point. He was already slowed to a jog. The final 300 meters was the most devastating stretch of a race I've ever seen. Anyone along the fence would have seen him.
It was an extraordinary effort. He went down, crawled, got up, collapsed again, he looked sheerly exhausted, spit on his face, dry lips, and never gave up but fought to the finish.
Very inspiring effort and despite never having met him, this shows great character and I'm proud of his performance.
They showed him wobbling over the line then later during Chelenga's interview he was escorted away and looked like death, but was ambulant.
