Hey, a big CONGRATS to Helene!
From Peterborough to Kona!
Helene just completed her first Ironman World Championship in Kona! She is quite literally one of the best Ironmen in the world! Very cool.
I haven’t heard from her directly yet, but it looks like she had a great race… about an hour slower than her qualifying race in Arizona… which is about right… Kona is that much harder! (or so I’ve heard!).
She had a strong swim, 1:24, only 3 minutes slower than her LOST Race time… and remember, Kona is an ocean swim… and no wetsuits allowed! She was 5:55 on the bike, and that tells you how hard that course is… because, in case you’ve never riden with Helene, she’s crazy fast on the bike! And a 4:20 marathon in that heat… not too shabby either!
Well done, Helene, and congrats from all the LOSTies!
