Big Kahuna 70.3 - 2006

We jumped in my brand new Tundra and took a journey up to Santa Cruz! The race was great with a very scenic course and the organization was top notch. Not a single swimmer was eaten by a shark. I had a great swim and bike and died on the run. I still had a great time and it was wonderful to sit on the sand of the beach and watch Taylor cruise in for her finish.

Swim 1.2 Miles (32:12) - 1:40 pace
T1(4:58)
Bike 56 Miles (2:51:50) - 19.55 mph
T2(1:49)
Run 13.1 Miles (2:30:00) - 11:27 mpm

Overall - 6:00:49

Arrival at T1 race morning


Just before the swim start and heading out into the 50 degree water...yay!


It felt like a 1 mile run to transition from the beach!



Cruising into T2



 
Only a couple miles to go!

Finished my first Half Ironman!!!
