🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Shane Williams: Still a Legend at 48! 🏆
Welsh rugby icon Shane Williams just proved he’s not only a legend on the field but also a powerhouse in endurance sports! Over the weekend, Shane took on his eighth Ironman challenge in the picturesque town of Tenby and absolutely smashed it, despite some wild weather conditions. 🌬️
This incredible course includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full marathon. Shane conquered it all in just 11 hours, 55 minutes, and 42 seconds! 💪 Placing 29th in his age group and 235th overall among all male competitors is no small feat!
“It gets better and better,” Shane shared with a smile, reflecting on the amazing support from thousands of fans lining the streets. 🎉 “The run was my favourite because of all the support – seeing friends and family kept me going.”
Despite some unexpected challenges, like choppy waters and daunting headwinds, Shane embraced every moment. “It’s an Ironman – it’s all hard, but you enjoy it all the same,” he said.
Congrats to Britain’s Lewis Eccleston for taking the men’s title, and Germany’s Franziska Hofmann for winning the women’s event. 🙌🏼
