Me and Penny will ride from Killarney station to Waterfront park to watch the participants exit the 2.4 mile swim and head off to the 112 brutal bike course around 8:30. The energy in these events are spectacular and really is something to experience even as a spectator.
Great Floridian has a special place in my heart because it was my first Ironman event ( completed GFT in 2003 and 2005) I always try to be there, either as a participant, a volunteer or like this year a spectator.
Dug out some pictures from GFT 2005,
My shorts had smiley face reflectors sewed on :0) you can tell that I am extremely happy to start the final leg of the tri after 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile bike.
Me and my daughters at the finish line after a sufferfest for 15 hours and 40 minutes. It is hard to believe that I was actually hosting the C beast at that time too.
Tomorrow is also very exciting because one of my tri-buddies is coming to visit us for the weekend, Stephanie !!
Here is a picture of me and Stephanie at Santa Cruz ( where I had completed the Big Kahuna Half Ironman) in 2005 it was an awesome event although it was kind of scary being that close to the sea lions !
