The Spanish guy that came 9th in Hawaii. What is his background ? He has no history on Xtri, I assume he must be an ITU racer with that swim time.
He qualified in Ironman Lanzarote in the roll-down. He was 9th there as well I think.
Anyway, that was the thought of everyone in that finish line. Francisco who? Pontano where? There are some rumours that he was an age grouper back in the 90’s and was never sub-9hrs before… last weekend.
But hey… he was 9th in IMH. That’s a notable result!
He’s from Argentina racing for Spain. No money for triathlon in Argentina only for soccer.
Also Galindez 11º from Argentina racing for Brazil
