Qualifying for the official World Cup was great already, but then also almost making it to the top 20 is a huge achievement.


Tailwind Wheels ambassador Tristan Olij delivers a strong result! He finished in 22nd position, 17 minutes behind the lead position.


Olij: "What. A. Day. Proud to have finished my first Ironman World Championship! Felt like I died 10 times in those last 15 km — the run course was brutal! Dizzy, running on pure willpower, but somehow made it to the finish."
