The KTLA5 reporter was sent to Hermosa Beach in Southern California on Tuesday to cover a unique Fourth of July “Ironman” competition, in which participants must run a mile on the beach, paddle a mile in the ocean, and then chug a six-pack of beer.

The "Aussie" runner - who was actually identified in Facebook comments as an (American) UCLA student and pole vaulter named Riley Turner - said that beach-goers shouldn't worry about the sharks. "I mean, the sharks are always going to be there," Turner says, in a wavering Australian accent.
