What a great day last sunday, Raphael once again seemed to be the best Belgian age-group athlete and got qualified for the World Championships Ironman70.3 at Zell Am See!

But…what lots of people didn’t know…there were  also 2 Ironman Hawai slots to take…Raphael got listed 6th, but before him in his  agegroup one of his concurrents already qualified. So he got 5th on the rolldown…and got the chance!

But no he said, focus is on IM70.3 World Championships and not (yet) on Hawai…and right he is…because we are sure that in the right race at the right time he will be able to take his Kona-slot in a full distance!

Raphael got by his performance and the rolldown the chance to go to Kona…he said no…because one day he’ll get there by getting qualified in a full!
