Josef Ajram adds another ironman to the Epic 5

The island of Molokai was the setting for the third Ironman of Epic 5, a challenge created by Jason Lester - also a participant - which consists of completing 5 Ironman events in 5 consecutive days and on 5 Hawaiian islands “without numbers or numbers; In this test there is no classification, you just have to get to the end,” explained Lester just before starting this year's edition.

Josef found “this third stage very hard, but in the end I finished in 11 hours and 50 minutes.” The fatigue and physical and mental wear and tear are accumulating, but the Spaniard continues to appear strong and confident.

Without rain now but with humidity that reached 65%, the ultra-distance runners had to run by bicycle for 45 km with headwinds at more than 64 kilometers per hour, a figure to which we must add the 2.600 meters of elevation gain accumulated in the race. bike. “It was very hard but I am very happy to have finished in the time I did.”

Regarding the rest of the tests on this third day, Josef declared: “The swimming was very fast with the current in favor, and the marathon was correct; Now I'm already thinking about tomorrow's stage.”

The five participants are demonstrating admirable behavior, smiling and in a good mood from the beginning of the day despite the few hours of sleep, and always eager to help each other throughout each stage.

The next Ironman of this unprecedentedly tough sporting challenge will take place today on the island of Maui, followed by the last one on the Big Island.
