1.- The Beginning
Everything
started on February 18, 1978 on the streets of Honolulu Hawaii where 15
men were part of the first Ironman Triathlon. Just before the race
started, these 15 competitors received each three sheets of paper where
they could find the rules and the description of the route. Handwritten
on the last page it said: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles!
Run
26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life".
2.- The Ironman’s
dream: To be a Finisher
It’s estimated that
more than 25,000 people will compete in an IRONMAN event this year.
This number is rapidly increasing and more and more
competitors from all over the globe are becoming part of these
competitions.
3.- The 1%, a small detail can make the difference
"Today
is my day; this is going to be the race." After several years competing
in triathlon and just a year after the debut in my first Ironman in New
Zealand in 1998, dreaming of someday finish this distance among the top
three in my age category.
4.- Training Cozumel, Qroo., Monday, October 12, 2009.
We
are a team of 15 triathletes representing Quintana Roo, 11 from Cancun
and 4 from Cozumel; we are the host Iron team “l'Aak” (The
Iron brothers). Everyone is going to compete in the Cozumel’s
Ironman.
5.- The day of competition, is a day to enjoy, it’s the time when you
reap what you sow
The
first important competition of the year finally arrived. Now it’s
time to put in practice all the tears, sweat and blood of days, weeks
and months of training. The physical condition that you gained so far
will reap good results in this first part of the season.
