New Zealand's Cameron Brown has become the oldest man to win an Ironman endurance race, taking out the Cairns event.
Brown turns 42 in two weeks and used his experience in the trying wet conditions to outlast Australians Tim van Berkel and Peter Robertson.
Brown says becoming the oldest-ever winner was motivation for him but he's sure Craig Alexander or Chris McCormack will try and knock him off now, adding 40 is the new 30.
Meanwhile Queensland-based Briton Liz Blatchford was in a class of her own to successfully defend her title with a wire-to-wire win and finish inside the top 10 professionals overall.
New Zealand's Melanie Burke was second.
