I went and hung out at the Bouler 5430 long course half ironman triathlon yesterday. My friend Becky Marzano was competing in it for her first 1/2 ironman she came in 3rd in her age group YAHOO!
I met Timothy O'Donnel the pro who came in 2 in the males pro category. He got beat on the run in the last half mile of it! OH that would be so tough! He is from Colorado and was very nice to talk with him. I hung out to watch Becky finish it was a real site to see her coming down the finish shoot! she completed the tri in just under 7 hrs. After watching the people yesterday I know there is still hope for me in the next year or two to be able to a half iron man!
I still have some runs to do this season and a sprint distance triathlon towards the end of sept.
Steve Uchella also did this triathlon he is about my age 42 and his time was 5 hrs 5 minutes, he is a great athlete
