What the what!? Kristian Blummenfelt and Kat Matthews become first triathletes to finish an Iron-distance triathlon in under 7 hours and 8 hours, respectively
Remember when Eliud Kipchoge became the first person to run sub-two for the marathon? Well, in a project similar to the whole Breaking2 attempt, Norway’s reigning Ironman and Olympic champion Kristian Blummenfelt became the first man to break seven hours for an Iron-distance triathlon, while Britain’s Kat Matthews became the first woman to break eight hours for the distance.
