amazing!

i guess it pays of to keep doing and doing the same race until you learn it by heart.

(this is marino’s 4th consecutive win at ironman austria.)

previous world record was held by luc van lierde, also a belgian.

whats with belgians and ironman world records?

luc van lierde’s ironman world record was set in 1997 at challenge roth.

it took 14 years to improve it.
