BRAD IS AN IRONMAN!!!

This is so exciting!

I can't wait to hear the story of Brad's race. I've set aside some red meat for a celebratory BBQ. I have some red meat set aside. Of course, it will have to wait until he can walk properly again and can get some time off work. Me thinks he'll need some help rebuilding some muscle mass.
For prosperity's sake, here are Brad's finishing times and standings:

TOTAL SWIM: 2.4 mi. (1:05:03) 1:42/100m 376th
T1: SWIM-TO-BIKE: 11:40
FIRST BIKE SEGMENT: 56 mi. (3:21:03) 16.71 mph
FINAL BIKE SEGMENT: 56 mi. (3:46:12) 14.85 mph
TOTAL BIKE: 112 mi. (7:07:15) 15.73 mph 1378th
T2: BIKE-TO-RUN: 15:18
FIRST RUN SEGMENT: 13.1 mi. (2:24:46) 11:03/mile
FINAL RUN SEGMENT: 13.1 mi. (3:22:04) 15:25/mile
TOTAL RUN: 26.2 mi. (5:46:50) 13:14/mile

I have no idea if this is good or not. It definitely looks better than I would have done. :o)
Give Brad my congratulations!

Peace and Laughter,

Lol, you know, I couldn't tell you if it was good or not, either!

As Brad hadn't been training for this (long story), it is amazing - to me, anyway - that he finished. So, let's be proud of him for finishing - a great acomplishiment!

He is on crutches today as he has done something to his foot. The injury occurred during the second half of the run. I haven't tracked him down to talk to him yet to get his rendition of the race...I'm just floating along on my Mom's story. She and my sister and Brad's girlfriend were able to be there with him on race day.

Cheers!
