Wildflower 1/2 Iron Man - May 2, 2009

The weekend started off sketchy with on and off rain on Thursday night and Friday. Luckily it cleared for the race on Saturday.

My start time was 9am, for the old guys, 45-49 wave! 1/2 Ironman, 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run.

I tried to take it easy and make sure I had enough left at the finish line to keep going.
That's the goal right? I have to double the distance for Ironman Louisville in August.

I felt great. 6 hours and 12 minutes! I'll take it.

Here's a team picture of Team Shadow. Team Shadow is our infamous "double top secret" team for when we are not on an official Team in Training team. It was our 1st official team shadow race. And oh yeah, don't forget to check out our team blow up friend "Daisy".
