Hello to Kirby and everyone else.
It continues to be a celebratory time.
Antal Vonecki from Hungary has completed the Deca Ironman. His finishing time was 281:18:30. This gives Antal a 11th place finish.
Unfortunately finishing at 2:00 am in the morning, I don´t know if there were alot in attendance.
Currently David Clamp from England has 6 laps left to go.
In personal exciting news Stephen Johnson of Canada has crossed the finish line.
Stephen enduring enormous pain due to swollen feet, and as he decribed a possible torn shin and shoulders from hell after the swim and pure exhaustion came up the finshing stretch with Alan Barry videoing his last 500 meters.
Stephen approached the finish with David Bowie´s (live) Ziggy Stardust. There wasmany in attendance. Greeted first by his lovely wife and constant supporter Mary, Stephen was embraced. Stephen was also very receptive to Wicked Wanda , Alan´s wife for bandaging and helping Steve get through this grueling race with her support.
Jorge congratulated Steve along with many others.
This was Steve´s first Deca and he was very relieved that it was all over.
Celebration is on for us but we will be cheering on all athletes still trying to finish.
