In the female category, the best brand corresponds to Gurutze Frades, in the Ironman of Brazil stopped the chronometer in a time of 9: 01: 00, being the first Spanish that falls of 9: 15: 00.
Gurutze has a time of 8: 40: 07 in the IRONMAN South Africa of 2019, but had to be trimmed in swimming to only 1,6 km, so we have discarded it
The second position in this ranking is for Virginia Berasategui, with 9: 15: 28 achieved in the Hawaii IM in 2009. Close the podium Saleta Castro, that in IRonman from Frankfurt 2016 achieved a time of 9: 22: 41.
We also want to highlight the brand achieved by Ivet Farriols, in the Ironcat 2016 marked a time of Ironcat, 9: 34: 20, race that realized practically alone, without references of other competitors.
Finally, although it is not top10, you also have to mention Ruth Brito, who has the 11ª Spanish brand 9: 59: 49 obtained in Vitoria 2016. To date, the 2016 year has been the year with the most sub10h women in history, with 4, of the Spanish 11 that have come down from 10 hours in Ironman.
