Me: I forgot to post some pics from last Sunday, October 19th.
That was the day of SOMA; a 1/2 Ironman race. Wendy & I were there to support our friend & client, Howard.
Howard & I all smiles pre-race. This is Howard's second year doing triathlons. He did this race last year and has done some great training the past few months to prepare for today. His "A" race is actually the full AZ Ironman on November 16th but today was going to be a good test to see how his fitness was doing. He was nervous but excited and so were we!
Orange cap swimmers waiting for their wave to start. Go Howard!!
Here's a view of triathlon village. See ALL the bikes racked in the transition area. They are waiting for the swimmers to exit the water and start biking! The bike segment is 56 miles on a twisty-turny course around Tempe.
Howard's off the bike and running. Wendy is giving him encouragement for his 13.1 mile run on a VERY hot day!
Howard crossing the finish line!! Wohoo! GREAT job, Howard. His official finish time was 7 hours & 6 minutes (16 minutes faster than last year). Yeah!! There is room for improvement but this is wonderful progress & we are very proud of Howard. And he is happy!
WOW...Howard did an excellent job...your training and his hard work paid off! Congrats Howard and his team!
