Busselton Iron Man - another great result

The Busselton Iron man was held on Saturday December 5. With an incredible 1232 entrants Busselton must have been bursting at the seams!!

The event comprised: -
3.8 km swim
180 km road bike ride
42 km run

There was a huge range of abilities evident with the fastest (a professional) doing the course in an amazing 8 hours 14 minutes and the slowest competitor to finish in a torturous 16 hours 45 minutes!!

I was out on my usual Saturday morning ride when I got the first of three automated text messages which updated me on my son's progress. Congratulations to David Hind who was 42nd overall. His blistering ride with an average of just under 38kms an hour made him the fastest cyclist in his (25 to 29 year old) age group and earned him 5th place in that category. He was the 14th fastest cyclist overall.

Congratulations also to Michael Rees who came 22 overall.

If you know of others in the Ride_Group or Life Cycle for CanTeen communities who competed in the Iron Man or other events let us know so we can make mention here.
