2018

  • Boston Marathon, Apr.  16, 2018. That was brutal, to say the least.  Cold, down poured constantly, and unrelenting wind in my face up to 25 mph.  But I finished in 5:38:59, my fastest marathon.  More than ever, this one was for stroke survivors!
  • Ironman 70.3 Boulder, Aug. 4, 2018.  I participated in a half Ironman in Boulder, CO.  Went out three weeks early to get used to the elevation.  I set my best time for half Ironman.  6:55:40.

  • Mini Monster Triathlon, Feb. 14, 2016, 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run.  Just one week after finishing half marathon, I participated in my very first 70.3.  I learned a lot!  Transition help, nutrition, what not to eat, little crash on the bike (I had just got my tri bike from Bike Works in Kona a week earlier!).  I finished it, and that was my goal!
  • Peaman, Mar. 6, 2016, 1/2 mile swim, 3.9 mile run.  Thanks to my transition help, I was done in transition in under 2 minutes!
  • Run for the Hops 10K run, Mar. 19, 2016.  This was my first 10K race.  Note to self: take it out a little faster on the first 5K.
  • HCC/Kiser Motorcycle "The Dragon" bicycle race, Mar. 20, 2016, featuring nine hills.  What I learned from this is that I’m not very good on hills.
  • Keoua Canoe Club 10K Mac-A-Thon, Mar. 26, 2016.  Tougher that Run for the Hops, I thought, in that it had more hills.
  • Lavaman Triathlon, Apr. 10, 2016, 1500 meter swim, 40K bike, 10K run, an Olympic distance event.  This was my first BIG race, with over 1100 participants.  Again, I learned lots and I surprised myself, placing the upper 1/3 of participants.  Clearly, I’m getting better!

  • (Tri)ptophan Turkey Day Triathlon, Nov. 24, 2016, 1/3 mile swim, 16 mile bike, 2 mile run.  This was my introduction into triathlon!  I did better this time around, improving significantly my total time.
  • Honolulu Marathon, Dec.11, 2016, 26.2 mile run.  I thought this race was harder that the Ironman, and the time was slower that the Ironman by two minutes.  However, I qualified for the Boston Marathon in the physically challenged division for 2018!!
