Local athlete Bernardo Cortes, ‘Yiyi’, has completed what must be classed as one of the most gruelling events on the calendar, the Ironman series.
In Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bernardo Cortes completed 3,800 metres of swimming, 180 kilometres of cycling and a 42,195 metre run in a time of 12 hours, 9 minutes and 15 seconds. Just to cross the finish line is a great achievement in these sort of events.
