澳洲帥哥穿西裝跑馬拉松 打破世界紀錄

One very brave Sydney lawyer has broken a world record by running a marathon in a three-piece suit.
悉尼一位勇敢的律師身穿三件式西裝跑馬拉松，創下世界紀錄。

Matthew Whitaker, 25, entered the Sydney Running Festival on Sunday with the aim of taking home a grander prize than just a fast time - which for him was an incredible two hours, 44 minutes and 29 seconds and a Guinness World Record.
25歲的馬修-惠特克上週日參加了悉尼長跑節，他的目標不只是跑個好成績，而是拿個大獎回家。最終，他以2小時44分29秒的驚人成績，創下了穿西裝跑馬拉松的吉尼斯世界紀錄。

In a tremendous feat the North Bondi local donned a woollen suit and tie one size larger than his actual size and set about running 42 kilometres in it.
來自北邦代的惠特克此次取得了驚人的成績，他身穿比實際尺寸大一碼的羊毛西裝，完成了42公里的馬拉松。

'The first half was fine, but the last 15-20 kilometres were really, really horrible,' Mr Whitaker told the Sydney Morning Herald.
他在接受《悉尼先驅晨報》採訪時說：“前半段還好，但是最後15到20公里真的很艱難。”

'It got really heavy and restrictive and slowed me down a fair bit.'
“西裝變得很重並且限制了我，影響了我的速度。”

The lawyer had spent time training in the suit, running around Sydney's iconic Centennial Parklands and Bondi beach, but nothing could have prepared him for the grueling stint in sunny Spring weather.
這位律師花了很多時間穿着西裝沿着百年紀念公園和邦代海灘跑步訓練，但是悉尼的春天烈日當空，還是把他折磨得夠嗆。

While the rules stated he needed to wear a full suit with his top button done up at all times to break the record, Mr Whitaker was allowed to wear trainers.
根據規定，爲打破世界紀錄，他必須穿全套西裝，全程襯衫最上面一顆鈕釦都必須扣緊，不過他可以穿跑鞋。

In pictures from the event, which sees the Harbour Bridge shut down for the morning, the 25-year-old can be seen sweating straight through his pant legs.
從賽場照片可以看到，25歲的惠特克的汗水嘩啦啦地順着褲腳流出來。

Mr Whitaker admitted after the race that even dry cleaning it may not revive the standard work attire.
惠特克賽後承認，乾洗也拯救不了這身西裝了。

Incredibly he wasn't the only person trying to break that world record on the day - beating out Michael Tozer for the top spot.
當天，惠特克並不是唯一一位試圖打破穿西裝跑馬拉松世界紀錄的人，這真令人不可思議。他戰勝了邁克爾-託擇獲得勝利。

The pair posed for a photo together despite only being acquaintances before the race began.
兩人在賽前纔剛認識，賽後還合了影。

The previous record holder was Joe Elliott with a time of 2:58:03 - beaten by Mr Whitaker by more than 14 minutes.
之前該世界紀錄的保持者喬-艾略特，成績是2小時58分3秒，惠特克的成績比他快14分鐘。

In total the Sydney Running Festival raised over $1.5 million for charities this year.
今年的悉尼長跑節總共爲慈善機構募集了超過150萬美元。
