XLAB Champion Daniela Ryf put down another sub-9 hour performance at the IRONMAN African Championship, crossing the tape in a stunning 8:47:02.

Despite a nagging back injury that nearly caused her to back out of the race, Ryf pulled off a huge lead on the bike leg. Her women’s-best 4:50:50 put her 3+ minutes ahead of the rest of the field. A dominating 2:57:27 marathon clocked her third sub-3 hour marathon of her career.

For carrying her repair, Daniela opts for the Aero Pouch 300 mounted on a Delta 400. The Aero Pouch’s CFD-proven design wraps around her bottle cage and ensures repair essentials remain sleek and fast.

The Aero TT frame bottle can save up to 64 seconds on a full distance race compared to a standard bottle.

Daniela also uses the new leak-free Torpedo Bottle designed with an innovative breather valve, mounted on the new ultra-secure clip-down Versa Mount. Turn the bottle upside down or shake it around – the new leak-free bottle design keeps liquids inside!
