Paul Lunn competed in Ironman Majorca at the weekend.
Distances were:
swim 2.4 miles in the sea.
bike 112 miles including the Lluc Mountain climb after 75 miles.
run 26.2 mile marathon.
Paul was 3rd Brit home in a race won overall by Britain's Olympian and former World Champion, Tim Don.
Paul said: " The day went ok; good swim (for me) 59:41 (non-wetsuit), a tougher bike than I'd expected up Lluc after 75miles was never going to be easy and came into T2 20th in my Age Group, so left myself a lot to do on the run. Finished in 9:33:45. 7 of us finished within 92 seconds of each other but unfortunately I was at the wrong end of the 7 and only good enough for 16th. Rest assured I gave it everything yesterday but beaten by some class guys. Spent an hour in the medical tent and two IV's later was feeling much better."
