Cameron Wurf runs 8 Ironman in one year and finishes 7 of them in the TOP 5
The triathlete has participated in 8 Ironman events this last year, getting into the TOP 5 in 7 of them and getting on the podium 5 times, quite a feat.
Last Saturday the Australian was second in the Challenge of Almere, with a time of 8: 00: 55.
Today marks exactly one year since Cameron Wurf achieved victory in the Ironman Wales, just 5 weeks before competing in the Ironman Hawaii , where he broke the cycling segment record with a time of 4:12:54 and finished in 17th position.
After a few months of rest, Wurf then competed in six Ironman distance races in less than five months: IM South Africa, Challenge Venice, Challenge Roth , Ironman Nice, Ironman Zurich and Challenge Almere, where he finished in the top 5 in all of them.
We haven't found a case similar to Wurf 's in history, where a professional triathlete has competed in and finished eight Ironman-distance triathlons, remaining competitive in all of them, many of them among the most prestigious races in the distance, such as Zurich , Nice , Roth , South Africa , and Kona. In addition to all this, he also competed in and won the Challenge Salou , a half-Ironman distance race.
In addition we must also highlight the "super Julio" that was marked Wurf, "from less to more" (or "more to more") because in this month he ran three triathlons: Roth the 1 in July where he was fifth, Nice one week after getting third and Zurich at the end of the month achieving the second place.
