5.1.10 will be a day in history for the Whitesides family. Mike called me from work today and told me the good news- today Ironman announced a new full Ironman triathlon in St. George, UT! Mike didn't waste anytime signing up -he is very excited! Ironman (the company who puts on the events) had only 6 full length Ironman races in the US up until today. All of the races except for Florida are on Sundays, therefore, this newly announced Saturday ironman so close to home was a very exciting announcement. A full ironman consists of a 2.4mi swim, a 112 mi bike and a 26.2 mi run. This ironman also has 67 qualifing spots for world ironman championships in Kona, HI. The thought of going to Hawaii is the part that I am most excited about- I think we should all route him on so we can all have an excuse to goto Hawaii!
That is awesome....way to go Mike!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds totally awesome! I would agree that Hawaii wouldn't be so bad!
