Me: Today is the Ironman!! Howard along with about 3,000 athletes are competing in the 140.6 mile event in Tempe, AZ. Howard drinking Gatorade pre-race - 6:00am.
The swim is 2.4 miles. The bike is 112 miles. The run is 26.2 miles (a full marathon).
As of now (1:30pm), Howard is out of the water in 1 hour & 53 minutes (17 minutes faster than last year)! He's now on his 2nd lap of the bike course (3 laps total). Race temperatures are great but it's VERY windy. It's going to be a tough day biking.
I came home for a break but am heading down to the race venue again until he finishes (around 11pm or earlier we hope). Wish him & everyone else luck out there today!!
Good Luck, Howard....this is what you have been training for....10:00pm is past your bed time, Jane!
