What a stunning day for our athletes!
Let’s start with the guys in Ironman Austria!
A non-wetsuit swim to start the day gave a little bit of fear for the athletes, but clearly this seemed unneeded.
Even without wetstuit Wim VL gets himself in T1 sub 60′!
Jesse M and Steven DB get out of the water in 1h17 and + 1h20 before really starting the day!
Once on the bike Wim VL maintained his top 10 position after the Swim, Jesse M moved up quite quickly and paced well to have the energy left for the marathon. Steven also moves up at an easier pace. The heat was getting there at the last part of the bike and all 3 athletes were conscient that this would influence the race strongly. The field clearly suffered from the heat. Wim VL kept strong and finished 14th in AG 40. Jesse M could continue his jump to the front untill the end of the marathon and takes 24th in AG 35 after a 3h24’marathon. Steven waited a bit longer before heading into the water, managed a steady bike and steady marathon in these conditions. Finishing the race in 12h04′!
