Swim Bike Run Disney Half Ironman 2005 |
Two weeks tomorrow and he'll be cycling around Florida |
Relaxing on the patio only one week to go |
Getting the bike packed ready for the trip |
Super short haircut ready for that Florida heat |
Relaxing before the race day |
What a lovely resort |
Here's where it all takes place |
Waiting in line to pick up the race kit |
Hmm do I really want to sign this liability waiver? |
Saturday now and here's where it will all begin tomorrow |
No swimming? Huh, that's what they think. Just wait until tomorrow |
Which way to the transition zone? |
Time to tuck the bike away for the night |
What's this then? a holding pen? |
Race morning at 7am and only a few minutes to go before the starting horn |
Time to check the green cap |
Better do some stretching before the start |
Into the holding pen |
He's in this lot of green caps somewhere |
Oh there he is |
And they're off |
Go Pete, only 1.2 miles to go |
Well they are all out there somewhere? |
Here he comes, 1.2 miles later |
Come on Pete, the transition is this way |
Through the swim finish |
That way to the bike |
Looking good on the bike |
56 miles later still looking good |
Just starting out on the last part |
Here he comes |
And there he goes, see you in 13 miles |
Halfway point, 6.5 miles done another 6.5 to go! |
Water water, yes please |
Here he comes down the finishing chute |
Go Pete, nearly there |
Just a few more feet to go |
6 hr 11 min later and he's through the finish line |
What a big finishing smile eh? |
My first Ironman Medal |
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt |
Oh and a hat too! |
Enough of the photos, now just let me cool off |
Here he is, taking a well earned rest |
The spoils of war? |
The race is over but the swimming hasn't stopped |
Really relaxing AFTER the race day! |
Lovely pool, can we take it home with us? |
