  2. Roger Nonella, 454.4 seconds
  3. Cole Patterson, 459.8 seconds
  4. K.C. Jones, 487.6 seconds
  5. Cade Rice, 673 seconds

All 15 athletes have earned their space in the final go-round. They aren't crowned the "Ironman" for nothing. Every single cowboy has put their blood and sweat into this over the last 48 hours. Many of them have torn muscles, sprained and dislocated joints and nearly all are exhausted and can be seen limping off the dirt after each run. 

It is truly a showcase of some of the toughest cowboys on earth and highlights just what each man must put himself through in order to prepare himself for this type of gauntlet.

It is truly a crown jewel event of the Western sports world.
