Ironman Florida in Panama City Beach Saturday was unbelievable with a course record being shattered by an astonishing 13 minutes. The winner, Tom Evans, completed the swim portion averaging over 3 mph in just over 48 minutes. Averaging 26 mph on the bike, Evans started his run after only 4 hours and 18 minutes of riding. That only leaves just over 3 hours to run the 26 mile marathon equaling a blazing average of 8 mph, FOR 26.2 MILES!
Dude.
I had the great pleasure of poking around the entire race camp and got quite a few great shots, which are below. But, before you peep the cool pix, be sure to watch the timelapse I put together of the entire day’s activities. Be sure to comment what you think!
