I Was So Close

With friends before the race

Indeed, I needed about one minute to breake the 5-hour mark.

This year's Ironman Eagleman 70.3 in Maryland was blessed with the best weather conditions in a long time, although, one think we could count on was the wind on the bike and the notorious drafting by many.

Stoping the traffic on the streets of Cambridge

I was very pleased with my performance and placing fifth in the young 55-59 age group. This year, I decided not to accept the Ironman 70.3 World Championship qualifying slot for Clearwater, FL.

The sweetest moment of them all

Next stop, Ironman Providence 70.3 and another chance to break 5 hours, as well as to race with some of the IronTOM team mates

See you there.
