My Youngest Son Completes His First IRONMAN Half Triathlon

My youngest son, Brian, recently completed his first IRONMAN Half Triathlon in Oceanside, California. Competing in the 25-29 age division, Brian did quite well considering the fact that he dealt with some bike issues during the race, as well as the discomfort of an iliotibial band inflammation in the weeks leading up to the race. Brian covered the 70.3-mile course in a time of 8:11:32 (which is a 10:57 per mile average). The number of participants was over 3,600 -- so it was a big race along the Pacific Ocean! I'm incredibly proud of Brian and told him that anytime that he wants to borrow my well-used "BOB" stroller and do a run across a state or country, he certainly can. So far, however, he seems to prefer the swim/bike/run combination -- which is great. He's being active and fit in his 20's and that's so important. Congratulations Brian!

Gotta Roll,

Paul J. Staso
