| Chris competed in his first Half
Ironman on Saturday, March 19, 2005. The weather was chilly and it
rained off and on the whole time. Chris' goal was to finish under
6 hours and he finished with a time of 5 hours and 48 minutes. I
was so proud of him.
Pete and I drove down to Oceanside with Chris at 5:00AM. The first wave started at 6:40, with the pros. Chris' wave didn't start until 7:07AM. He finished the swim much faster than he had expected, he finished the bike in the time he thought, and did the run faster as well. He felt really good throughout the whole race except for the last two miles of the run. He said he needs to work on his transition times, but overall, he kicked some ass!! Here are his results and pictures... Overall Time 5:48:37 781 out of 1795 Total Finishers 148 out of 290 M 35-39 |
