Triathlete smashes Ironman world record | The Moment

From Denmark, your men's champion, Magnus De Geer. All right. I just finished the Ironman Florida in 7 hours and 19 minutes. I managed to break the world record, setting the fastest Ironman bike world record, but then also the world record in the total combined time. An Ironman is such a long day. First you swim 3.8 kilometers, then you bike. 180 kilometers you are riding for four hours like as hard as you can which in itself is quite tough. Then you finish off with running a marathon. On the bike, I recorded everything. I have a computer where I see all the data and the time. I knew that I was in really good shape. I tried to motivate myself for going for the world record. Winning the race, of course, is nice, but then taking the world fastest time is cherry on top of the cake. It's super cool. It is so easy to overlook how extraordinary an athletic feat just doing a triathlon is, much less the fastest ever. Just a few weeks ago he couldn't complete one because he was overcome by the heat. So this time obviously he didn't just make it, he didn't just set the world record, but he set it by a full two minutes.
