SHANNON ECKSTEIN WINS 7TH AUSSIE TITLE

Shannon Eckstein is now the greatest Ironman in history after winning his seventh national title at the Aussies at North Kirra.

The 32 year old eclipsed Trevor Hendy’s long standing record.

“Shut the gate you’re watching history, you’re watching the greatest.”

“That one just like last year was perfect, it felt so easy, you get to the front and control the race.”

In the women’s event, North Burleigh’s Liz Pluimers clinched her third Aussie Ironwoman title, defeating Rebecca Creedy.
