Ironman California, Oceanside 70.3

Congratulations to several fabulous ladies in pink who raced the 2009 Ironman California on April 4th. Pink was in the house for the sunny SoCal race with 5 of us racing. The morning was a bit chilly, which made the 59 degree water all the more welcoming at the start!

In the 40-44 age group, Sidney conquered the tough bike course. Here she is on the bike looking strong!

In the 30-34 age group, our Kona Bound Ariane worked the course on her pink Elite bike, with the 5th fastest bike split of the age group.



Ms Monica made a fantastic 2009 debut/comeback. Just look at that smile! She also had a blazing fast run and came in 15th in her division. Nicely done Monica!

Leisha, our swimming superstar jogs out of the water into T1 in this photo. You'll see she's surrounded by men. Why you ask? Oh that's because she passed the guys in the wave before her to come out with the 3rd fastest swim time in her age group, 29:06. Yowsah that is fast!

And then there is me, Lara, enjoying the day. I was stoked to have a 1:59 run, in my 3rd go at this distance, my best yet!


Congrats to all the ladies for a great job! Recover well, you deserve it after all. Next up - Wildflower!
