Ironman weekend

Looks like Universal Sports will have live internet video coverage! May get to see my smiling face!:bwgy:

you coming out to track town this year?? let me know

I don't even know what track town is!?!?

Well I had a great race but didn't quite get the time I was shooting for. It was still a personal best by 30 minutes but I was hoping for a 1 hour pb. I had an average swim (1:07:07 for 2.4 miles), and then rocked the bike (5:03:23 for 112 miles), and then had a below expectations run (3:58:09 for the marathon), throw in a 4minute 1st transition and 1 minute 43 second transition and I finished in 10:14:21...199th overall (out of 2500+) and 14th in my agegroup. There is 6or7 slots for Hawaii so now I need to hope some one doesn't want there slot and then it passes down through the others ahead of me.

they call Eugene track town usa .....sorry

Well no Eugene in the near future but it looks like possibly Vegas in November for the Silverman ironman distance race!:bwgy:

I'd say you did one helluv a job Billy. Who knows maybe Hawaii comes to ya. I'm highly impressed 199 out of 2500 is very good. I think I may try Vegas...would have to start workin out my right arm to pull those slot handles..OOPS I mean exercising my index finger to push the buttons.

Here are a few pics my wife took out on the course...

Hearding me and 2500 of my newest friends into the water for the in-water start...the water was a nippy 64 degrees!

Great job Billy on your PB. I would say being near the top 10% of anything is pretty darn impressive. :yesy:
Peace.
