Joaquin Candel from the USA arrived in Faro on Feb. 11th at 23:37, ranking 3rd in the bike division and 5th overall. That means he is now the third athlete to have done our maximum length race in all three disciplines – he mastered our Dawson race on foot in 2019 and then followed up with a finish as a skier in 2023. Having no finished on bike in Faro earns him the “triple crown”. Like Jessie, he did not need 2nd attempts, either. Every time he started he also finished. Always with a BIG smile on his face.
Congratulations, Joaquin!
