I have seen this finish at least 30 times. There is such beauty in the story and the sportmanship you two show. I hope you still have contact with Andreas.

Still watching this in 2024

Legend Macca! 💪

Macca the first time I watched an IM was on 2007, your first win. Its amazed me so much that I knew one day I would be doing an IM. My dream was ready to come true in IM Cozumel 2023, I made a great process, race day... Swim was cancelled, so hard to process at the moment. That day when I finished I told my coach, this its not finish lets go for another. IM Texas 2024 my dream came true! Thank you so much, you have been a role model through my whole journey. Team Macca here from Costa Rica

Here’s me eating a pizza and garlic bread 13 hours before a half marathon… fuck

F**king class Macca,keep pushing bro 👊

Congrats Macca on this new journey! Been following your success since 2004! Always inspirational

Cool 😊what a great sportsman ❤greetings from Germany

If YT was as big as it is today in the late 2000s. This channel would be so big.

Thank you Macca for inspiring me to workout on the days I dont want to.

Still after 13 years I can't understand why Andi stayed with him. The mistake of his life and I am a super Fan of both Raelerts. Gerhard Kiefer

Looks like a Swatch watch. But for 3k you cannot be serious...

Nice, goodjob

That was just incredible to watch live and my personal inspiration to start in Roth one day. I did that many years later and I love endurance sports since then! 😃💪🏻

Reassess and Reset from disappointment❤

Thanks Chris putting this to work during today’s race!

Breiting must consider stemless and backlight

this looks so dated- yet was 2010

Ironman is not the same anymore... They ruined it by being greedy

Absolutely EPIC Macca, this is one of those moments that will live on forever. I often think of this when I’m suffering in training or a race it’s so inspirational the grit and determination you showed that day. Also great to hear your insight. Respect.

love this fella

Did people back in 2006 find those men's crop tops ridiculous? Particular that of Faris al-Sultan😂

Chris 2007 is my favorite IM, not only because of the side stories but also because your win seems like a movie story. Congrats for that epic day!

Westport sea2summit 😬

see the front wheel of welch's bike ?? still rolling on and on, WTF ?! 15:38

exactly!! You are absolutely right.. make ur own nutrition according to ur body needs...

Bravo!!!

There were women in this race, yes? What about them?

Thanks Macca

Macca was the Man!

Craig Alexander was such a class act.

19:13 what's the name of the song? Iron Man is awesome I hope to go do the Kona next year 2023

Tent full of people. Stripping down entirely just to put on run shorts. No cares at all, haha. I love that competitiveness Macca!!

👍👍👍 Supreme sportsmanship. Love the way you guys slapped each other‘s hands in the final 2 miles of the marathon. Way to go Chris! I’m finishing a book on Peak Performance with two American doctors; Dave Scott and Mark Allen are among the many athletes featured. Chris, If you read this, I’d much value connecting with you briefly around your training regimen that I might feature in my book with a link to your site. Cheers!

No words. Love the way you guys slapped each other’s hands in the final 2 miles. Supreme sportsmanship. Way to go Chris!

Sensational, human sportsmanship Norman displayed in greeting you Chris and the third place finisher… Incomparable. Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this, Macca! Watching this Aussies Abroad episode, alongside with Crowie's, inspired me couple years ago to start triathlon and later ironman myself. It's been a great journey so far for me. Cheers from Slovakia 🍻

"not cocky, passionate" when you put confidence into that mix, you get you

Every time I watch the "meltdown" I think Chrissy Wellington had well only one flat but she went on to win.

Macca mate to squeeze the water out of the sponge then hand it to him with nothing in it pure gold.

where are the girls, where is Crissie Wellington

I remember meeting you on Kuakini Highway, you Running Home, me out. Dude, you looked in such pain. Big f… Kudos, you rock.

Macca, Conor Mcgreggor of Ironman. That's what the sport need to get more atention. Great inspiration man.

This helps a lot thank you!

epic battle

The boss 👏👏. Never gets old watching this Macca

Chris mccormack played the mind game on Andreas Raelert.

Have it in the Yellow, stopwatch date and time, simple, the dial is silky smooth and I can agree it just does not scratch, I wear mine everyday, it has been hit knocked dropped all the normal stuff with a watch and it still looks brand new. It is super super lightweight.

Que bonito

Chris
