Ironman South Africa

Or should I say Iron WOMAN! Chrissie won finishing 8th overall with a new record time of 8:33:56! Also, the fastest run split of the day for anyone w/2:52:54.

I wonder if she can knock off Lance

that would mean Lance would have to show up to a Ironman Event...and he said he wasn't racing Kona this year :(

Do you suppose there will ever be a field where she beats everyone?

Now for clarification - is 8:33:56 the 140.6 record or is the a race record?

@stephen
I believe it is the MDOT record. Chrissie won in a IronDistance race in germany i believe where she crushed it and did something crazy fast. However it is a notorious course for being a bit short. None the less, she owns both records. fastest MDOT and fastest IronDistance.

@big3
if she chose an IronDistance that was not MDOT sponsored she would have a very good chance at winnint outright. Like if she showed up to The full Vineman Iron Distance she would could have a shot.

I liked the "WR" she posted following the race.
From her twitter.
