Two time Hawaii Ironman Finisher!!

I'll use Naira's update to describe Chuck's race . . .

Chuck had a great race and is very happy and quite sore :) He actually improved his time in all three disciplines, cutting a total of 22 minutes off of last year's time :) He finished in 13 hours and 18 minutes.

It started to rain very heavily for about 30 minutes before Chuck crossed the line so me and our friends Deirdre and Bill were thoroughly soaked by the time Chuck crossed the finish line. Well worth it though...

After Chuck finished, we hung around for an other hour or so and watched others finish but because we were so wet and tired, we ended up heading home around 10:30 PM and couldn't make the Midnight finish. Well, it was a fun one to see apparently... a lovely woman named Sister Madonna Buder (retired Nun age 76 years old) finished and thereby again claimed the world record for oldest woman finisher by coming in at 16 hours 59 minutes and 06 seconds! Now that was close! Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More soon!
