Ultra Man Triathalon in Hawaii
1st Day- 6.2 mile ocean swim followed by a 90 mile bike ride with 8,000
feet of climbing. ( The swim took over 4hrs. I had never swam that long
before. Swells and currents were all new to me. I was never so happy
to be on shore.) Time 10hrs and 58mins.
2nd Day- 170 mile bike ride with 9000 feet of climbing. ( Tough ride but
all was well untill I broke my crank which holds your pedal, with 10 miles
to go. I pedaled the last 10 miles with 1 leg. This was a first for me
and the race. My left leg spasmed for hours after the ride) Time 10hrs and
30mins.
3rd Day- 52 mile run through lava fields.( Real Hot and Humid! I drank
1 water bottle every 15 mins during the 2nd half of run.) Time 11hrs and
3mins. Total time 32hrs and 41mins. Good for 23rd place
Best athletes I have ever been around. Definately an Epic Event!
