Friend and coworker John is competing in today’s Lake Placid Ironman.
Looks like a good first 5:30; I’m sure he’s immensely pleased to have the swim behind him (under his last posted training time, no less), and from the first split I think he’s pretty close to his speed target on the bike leg.
The bike is over, nothing left but to run. By my math his average speed over the last leg was just over 29 km/h, which must be pretty good if it let him overtake 200 people!
Missed the run split and the finish, but now the result’s there for all to see: 11:57:04, which sounds darn good to this couch potato. Congrats on m-dot #1, John!
