Big Shout out to the following folks for gutting out some pretty phenomenal performances despite some less than ideal weather conditions! Cedar Point peeps held on during 28 mph wind gusts, a change in the swim venue due to strong rip currents and 3-6' waves and a 1/2 mi run to transition from the swim.
Rev3 Cedar Point
-Megan "Lunchbox" Weis for not only finishing her FIRST 70.3 but placing 1st in her AG and 11th OA chickadee.
-Deann Ryan for completing her first HalfRev Aqua-bike. Same as a half iron distance just minus the run!
-Kevin "Buffet" Satler for completing his first 70.3 and placing 8th Clydesdale OA
-Ron Searle completed the Full Rev Aqua-bike (2.4 mi swim and 112 mi bike) deciding the day before to endure the "suck"
Also congrats to Karen "Kanday" Kalkicki, Caitlin "Red" McMahon, Chris McMahon, "Zen" Al, Stain, fellow Wattie Mike Feldman, and Brad "Dirty Dog" Scholtz on outstanding repeat 70.3 performances!
Ironman Wisconsin
Mr. Ironman himself, Erick Italia's daughter Celine, who races the 18-24 cat, finished her FIRST IM in 14:45:58 which was 19/421 in her AG. SPECTACULAR!!!!!! FYI Celine had a faster swim than her pops, 2.4 miles in 1:35!!!! WOW!!!!
