More IronMan news

Good grief, I had 13 pics uploaded and only 4 posted onto the blog. If you want the rest here's the link. http://picasaweb.google.com/laker2m/IronMan2007. Good picture of the winner is included. He wasn't ahead at that time but wasn't far behind. Maybe 10 mins at the 10k mark. What a day! I could never imagine seeing over 1700 athletes do a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mi. bike ride and the run a marathon all in one day. I found it almost sci-fi except I did see it with my own eyes. 34 yr. old Australian, Chris McCormack, won in 8:15:34. Chrissie Wellington of Britain won the women's race in 9:10:00. It was a windy day for the bikers up in Waikaloa and then a skorcher down here in Kona for the runners. Ron's friend finished in 11+.
