A 3-time Ironman world champion lost a virtual reality race over the weekend ... and it's all because she says her husband tripped over the power cord that tied her to the event!!
"What an idiot," the losing athlete, Mirinda Carfrae, said.
Here's the deal ... with the world under lockdown -- world-class triathletes took part in a VR Ironman race on Saturday.
The event was pretty cool ... the women performed from their living rooms, with their movements being broadcast through avatars on a screen. It's like a video game powered by actual athletes.
