Oliver Half Ironman
Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:56:44 -0800
Pre race staying warm in our wetsuits Pat, MJ, Roch and Jim.
Jim is all smiles as Michellie pouts. Obviously Jim won the bet. He had a handicap of 59 minutes and finished less than this behind the Ironman World Champion.
Finshers are grinners. All rugged up well except Pat and ready for a much deserved shower.
Jim relaxing on the flight home. It's tough when you win...
Michellie recently raced and won the Persona Half Iron on June 1st:
Firstly I would highly recommend this half as it was one of the best Half Ironman's I have ever done. Sarah and Joe should get high fives for creating a great community involved event. You know you have great support when despite the rain and cold all the volunteers show up. I am sure there were a few races who decided not to face the start line race morning.
I am sure if I was not there with the boys (Roch,Jim and Pat) they may have sat and ate waffles on race morning like they kept threatening to do.
