My fantastic Christopher John completed the Cali 1/2 ironman in 5 hours and 31 minutes....his BEST TIME YET for a 1/2! It started out a little rough because his swim was a little slower than normal, but he recovered and pulled through the bike (battling crazy crosswinds) and then ran the best 13 miles he has ever run in a race, it was a great race day for him :]
(I would love to mention that our friend Craig Ward's race time was 4:38 & that he finished 16th in the most competitive age group, only minutes after the pro's...but he would kill me for mentioning that...so I won't)

CJ and Craig ready for a 6:56 am swim start! Both looking to get their best times yet....check!
(they are in the middle - cj in blue suit with goggles on is cap and craig is the tall guy checking his watch)

I am my hub's biggest fan. I love watching him race. Not many people run an ironman race...full 140 distance or half 70.3 distance. It's challenging and takes a toll on your body, but these athletes are the BOMB and the training is super intense. The atmosphere is hyped and possitive...it's just a fantastic experience all around! I'm just so proud of my CJ and all my friends who take these races on! :]
