A Look Back - Providence IronMan 70.3

Is that a Great White Shark?

"Dear Shawn, In my eyes, you are mightier than the Great White Shark! He should be worried that you will be in the waters this weekend! The best to you as you accomplish yet another amazing goal. Wishing you strength, fortitude and grace! Peace and Love, Laurie"

Back to Naragansett where the challenge had started in September of 2009 and to one of the few ocean swims of this challenge. The weather started out good but by the end of the day would reach into the 90's and make the run very difficult. The swim was also challenging on this day as I got my first taste of what it is like to swim while getting a little sea sick. The race proved to be a great challenge and a good confidence builder for the next month or so of training that was still to come.

The race was dedicated to all of those friends and family members of Gary Morrey who have fought cancer.

Thank you to the support group of Gary Morrey.
