There was lots of hype about this year’s men’s Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The incredibly competitive field was supposed to put on an impressive show … and they delivered. 16 men went under eight hours – a feat that was considered an impossible time on the Big Island even just a few years ago. Patrick Lange shattered the course record on his way to a third world title.
Definitely not ready to pass the torch, Patrick Lange shatters course record with huge Kona win
Triathlon Magazine editor Kevin Mackinnon was at the race and offers up this photo gallery from the exciting day of racing:
