On November 1, 2008, 45 year old LAC member Tom Evans completed his first Ironman Triathlon in Panama Beach, Florida. Tom finished with a time of 11:08, even after waiting 45 minutes to get a tire changed at mile 70 on the bike course. His 2.4 mile swim was an amazing 1:03, probably because he read about the 11 foot, 700 pound shark that was caught 100 yards from the swim course. Tom is the husband of Jeri Evans, LAC's Group Exercise Director.
Well Done Tom (and Jeri)!!!
(note: Ironman distance triathlons consist of a 2.4 mi. swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run)
