Triathlon's







About 6 months ago Steve decided he wanted to do a Half Ironman Triathlon. For those of you who don't know, an Ironman is a HUGE accomplishment. The full Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 (a marathon) run. The winners of these races are professional athletes and it takes them around 8 hours. The half Ironman is half the distance and Steve's goal is to do it in 5 hours and 45 mins. In training for this huge race, Steve has been doing olympic distance triathlons, and he's been doing really well. He actually got 5th place in one of them. http://onlineraceresults.com/race/view_race.php?race_id=8420
Steve's half Ironman is getting close. His race is on Saturday, September 6th, the weekend after Labor Day. I am so excited for him!
