Virginia Berasategui finishes tenth the Ironman of Hawaii

“The encouragement of all the people who support me has helped me endure the terrible heat today in KONA. In the end 10th place, Top ten in the world (as they say) and I am very very happy.

It tasted great to me! I am once again competing with the best and for four consecutive years I have managed to be among the TOP TEN here in Hawaii. “Now I have to rest and recover.”

This is how satisfied and tired the Bilbao triathlete was at the finish line after finishing a new edition of the legendary Hawaii Ironman, considered the Olympics of this tough sporting specialty. Berasategui had set her goal of being among the top ten classified after an untimely injury suffered in July caused her to arrive at the big world event with less preparation than she had planned. She has achieved it.
