A couple people haven’t mentioned yet are Ferenc Szonyi/left and Antal Voneki/below from Hungary. Both great guys. I am able to understand Ferenc alright and his support crew Gyuri but do have trouble with Antal’s English. His wife Ildi speaks even less. Both are doing well.

The race is on between Michelle Santilhano holding down second place, and running scared, and Wayne Kurtz behind her (he is really hurting and is just able to keep moving forward) and then Elke Streicher who is running faster laps but as long as Michelle can keep her pace going, she should hold on to second place. Elke will probably take third place.
Suraya Oliver is another one of those quite racers. She just does her thing lap after lap. Not sure what she has plugged into her headphones, but whatever it is, does the trick.


I need to apologize to the Spanish Triathlon Club for not getting Carlos Ochoa’s name correct. On the sheet of paper that Jorge gave me, it is spelled Carlos Ochoa Domingo so I, an American, figured his last name was Domingo. Well I got a comment on the blog last night correcting that. I had a chat with him earlier and he explained that Ochoa is his fathers name and Domingo is his mothers name. Spanish people will have two last names, the first being the fathers and that is what you go by normally. So an apology from an ill informed American. I try. So many customs and languages to learn I need to start bringing my wife Cindy with me to help keep me straight.
We got Wanda and Mary sitting across the way whistling at all the guys when they bike by. They were busy all day making team T-shirts to wear the rest of the way.
