Lange wins Ironman in Kona
German Patrick Lange set a course record on Saturday on his way to a third Ironman Kona World Championship.
Lange clocked an unofficial time of 7 hours, 35 minutes, 53 seconds in the 140.6-mile race, 7:46 ahead of Denmark’s Magnus Ditlev. His mark shattered the previous record of 7:40:24 set by Norwegian Gustav Iden in 2022.
Lange was in 13th place after the 112-mile bike portion, trailing leader and defending champion Sam Laidlow of France by 9:06. Laidlow set a course record in the bike portion, clocking a 3:57:22 in the 112-mile distance to smash his own record of 4:04:36 set in 2022. But Lange then dominated in the marathon, completing the running portion in 2:37:34, just behind the run course record set by Iden in 2022 of 2:36:15. Laidlow faded in the running portion, dropping all the way back to an 18th-place finish as Lange passed him near the 11-mile mark.
The 38-year-old Lange is the second-oldest man to win a world championship, after Australia’s Craig Alexander, who was also 38.
