I think that was one of Jay's better showings.  I also recall Jay himself saying that the 1999 Ironman was a good showing for him.  I may be confusing that for a good Chris Cormier showing, although it may have been a good showing for both of them.
I never watched the 1999 Ironman but recall hearing  what I said above - that either Jay or Chris [or both] were close to their best.
That may have been around the time that diuretics testing was actually working - or just stopped working, once Chad started using the mercurial diuretics on his bodybuilders.  I should say - alleged to have used.
This is from memory, so I may have my facts a bit off.  But Jay definitely looked good.
