Saturday August 1st, 1/2 my team competed in their Ironman. (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. )It's called Vineman and took place in Sonoma County. Another wine country weekend without wine tasting. Oh well, that will have to wait one more month.
Great day, little misty/foggy in the morning turning into a clear and sunny day, not too hot, perfect for an Ironman.
Most of us racing at Louisville on August 30th, completed the Aqua Bike portion, or 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile bike as a training day.
8 hours 1 minute exactly for me, 1:19 swim and 6:34 bike, with a not too fast transition from swim to bike of 7:14.
Then we hung out to watch and cheer our team mates on during the marathon (26.2 miles) and final portion of their Ironman.
Truly an amazing weekend.
Too many pictures to post, so here's a link to some fun shots from our friend Matt, who is also and amazing triathlete as well and a leukemia survivor. His pictures are amazing and capture the spirit of the day. Enjoy.
