For two-thirds of the race, Charles, the young British sensation, held a healthy 5-minute lead on the Swiss force after an impressive 48:48 minute swim. She said afterwards: “It was a tough day and Lucy (Charles) really challenged me all day—I was struggling. Lange crossed the line in 08:01:40 which overtook Craig Alexander’s course record set in 2013. “It was a life dream come true to win and beat the overall course record. I was expecting a fast time but a course record is a dream come true,” said Lange.
