Wow. The front page article really drives it home. That was total domination.
Almost 4 hours faster than the previous course record. Insane.
Given her long history as an elite swimmer,biker and triathlete it isn't really surprising that she could pull off a performace like this.To put the record into context,Steffi, who was the previous record holder is a top age group triathlete who won her age group in Malaysia this year in around 10:36 so Dede was always going to bring it to another level.She came close to posting the fastest ever Ultraman distance race by a female but missed out by just over 10 minutes.
I find her comeback after a massive crash resulting in serious injuries in 2011 to then do what she did in Florida the most impressive thing about her performance.
