Records for Del Corral and Van Vlerken at Ironman Florida


Andrew Starykowicz set the new all-time best Ironman bike split of 4:02:17 (breaking his old mark of 4:04:39) but that was still not enough for the American defend his title at the 15th Ironman Florida.
Spain’s Victor Del Corral trailed Starykowicz by 18 minutes and 39 seconds at the start of the run but he threw down what has to be one of the most spectacular marathons and comebacks in Ironman history. He caught Starykowicz at the 24.5 mile mark and finished with a 2:37:29 marathon to claim the overall victory in 7:53:12 – a new course record.
