Half Ironmans

Chris Bowers and Tim McDonnell both completed half ironman distance races 2 weekends ago. Chris competed in the Vineman Half and Tim finished the Mountain Man Half.
I was there to watch Tim in Flagstaff, he sure was upbeat and positive when I spoke with and saw him. Due to the small amount of participants most of this race Tim was off on his own, nothing like going for a 13 mile run all by yourself after a long swim and ride. Tim hung in there and finished, he said that he had a blast!
Chris did a bigger race, the pros started at 6 and he had to wait till almost 8 to start due to the number of people that would be swimming in the river. He really hammered on the bike and he said that he paid for it on the run. Check our the photos!

I hope that everyone is getting there plans together for the fall. Start looking at what races you would like to do and which ones you want to do really good at. Hopefully we can get some more people to make it to the track and spin class workouts.
Hope to see everyone this Saturday for a group ride!
