In early April power2max supported pro athletes Nils Frommhold, Bertrand Billard and Pedro Gomes lined up for Ironman South Africa in Port Elisabeth. Whilst it turned out to be a tough day for Pedro (injured) and Betrand (DNF), Nils took the race in a convincing way, posting race best splits in all three disciplines (48:17, 4:37:12, 2:55:59). On the way he left some of the world’s top Ironman professionals behind him: Faris Al-Sultan, Bas Diederen, James Cunnama, Ronnie Schildknecht, only to name a few. Way to go!
