McMahon finishes in second place

Manama : Bahrain Endurance Elite 13 team member Brent McMahon finished in second place at Ironman Arizona, to log his fourth sub-eight hour finish (7:50:15) in seven career Ironman races.

Canadian compatriot Lionel Sanders was the only man to finish ahead of him, setting the world’s fastest time in an Ironman-branded race.

McMahon exited the water in third and also broke the run course record, running 2:40 as he moved up the field from sixth place off the bike.

This silver finish ends an incredible season that began when he set a new personal record winning Ironman Brazil in May.

David Plese also notched his highest Ironman Arizona finish ever, taking fourth place in 8 hours 4 minutes and 29 seconds.
