Hi folks...Gary here again. It's Monday evening and I wanted to post a quick update to the blog to let everyone know that Shawn is now officially a full Iron Man! He safely finished the event last night shortly after 11:00 p.m. in a total time of 16 hours! Holy cow, I'm still so impressed and proud.
Here are Shawn's times:
Swim (2.4 miles) - 1 hour, 18 minutes (great pace...I'll take credit for this, since I was obviously instrumental in the training)
Bike (112 miles) - 7 hours, 22 minutes (Shawn said this was tough due to some mechanical issues with the bike while out on the course)
Run (26.2 miles) - 6 hours, 59 minutes (his run time suffered due to the extra energy that was expended on the bike, but hey, it's a full Iron Man!)
So that's a wrap on Cedar Point. Will he do another one someday? Who knows, you'll have to ask Shawn. Shawn's mom has already drawn up a contract in an attempt to get Shawn to promise to rest for a while and only swim/bike/run for fun from now on. We'll see if he signs it!
I hope everyone enjoys the last few days of summer 2010. It's been fun.
CONGRATULATIONS SHAWN!!!!
Be good!
Gary
