I know people aren’t fans of things like this and kipchoges optimized marathon distance, but it’s cool to see what a human can do in these three events with perfect conditions and performance

It's an amazing record in team time trial triathlon but far from anything comparable to a competition.

Funny how they placed him last in the bike TTT when he would have had less air resistance in second to last place...

Magnus Ditlev from Denmark has the fastest ironman time in a real race from the Roth ironman in 2023, his time was 7:24:40 (46:47 swim, course record 3:57:45 bike split and a 2:37:09 marathon)

Wish they didn’t have draft on bike kinda ruins it for me. But rest is cool

That is one very easy way to ride 180km at course he smashes the record doing it like this😅
The cycling segment alone would have saved him at least 45 minutes and saved energy on top of that. Silly record really as it is mostly depending on how good your cycling team mates are. You could get the 50th ranked triathlete in the world to beat this time if they had 6 tour de france cyclists to help them for 180km.

Nice training with mates lol - sorry I can't get over the bike drafting but I get it

Ich bin echt gespannt auf Hawaii und was dort dann geliefert wird von den Athleten

Silly what's next drafting behind a Mac Truck @ 51 mph . Doesn't take away from the beast of a athlete he is though.

Now we want to see with the best triathletes in the world 😉

Joe Skipper was only 3 minutes slower in the same "race", so this shouldn't be hyped as much

Can’t say I’m a fan of this, not real IM, all assisted.
markpattison
Shouldn't he be disqualified as Ironman events are draft-illegal and it is stated clearly in the rules and also any gear has to be left with a box, others are not allowed to assist otherwise time penalties are applied
alexanderhaynes
Wow! And he did it on a girl's bike : D
Rambleon
No, he didn't - it was Not regular Triathlon - anybody knows, only with very Special Help He did "something" in less than 7 hours, mainly Team Time Trial in cycling brought the opportunity to Finish early.
It was even Not Close to a regular Ironman or regular Long Distance Triathlon.
Stay honest please.
Regular SUB 7 is still a big Challenge.
It will come some day, Christian Blumenfeld is far away those days.
So the topic is clearly a ly.
peterningelgen
So you allowed to Draft? How is that fair????

I realise he's fit af but it still weirds me out seeing someone who looks fat competing at this level vs the other athletes I see doing the same amount of training looking lean af.
