"The Surrey firefighter, who also broke the first stage bike course
mark in the three-day, 512 km event, finished in a startling overall
time of 23 hours and 35 minutes – easily smashing Richard Diamond's
1995 record of 24:50:02. Bentley put on quite a show in the 84.3
double-marathon run from Princeton to Summerland on Monday, clocking a
6:55:54 to break Sergio Cordeiro's 1995 record of 7:10:06."
