A race full of excitement. Especially in the men’s race, where the entire top three – containing only South Africans – finished within 1:05 minute. We’re talking about Ironman South Africa. It may have started off with a little disappointment, as the swim was shortened for pro athletes, but it turned into an epic event. Let’s relive some of the action through some beautiful photos by Ingo Kutsche.
