Full Ironman, 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycling, 26.2 mile run
Our President & CEO Bill Redfern recently accomplished his goal of completing a full ironman competition in Clermont, Florida, after many months of gruelling training.
Of the race, Bill said the following:
“Completing this Ironman was a huge personal milestone – I did well and enjoyed the race very much. I had a great swim and fantastic cycling portion on what is known as one of the toughest triathlon courses in the country, climbing 4600 feet of elevation during the ride on non-stop hills. The photo attached is after just topping the infamous Sugarloaf Mountain with my heart rate maxed out! Unfortunately, in the first mile of the run, I had a knee injury which turned out to be a torn meniscus and possible stress fracture, which forced me to slow the pace considerably. Still, I finished and with a competitive time of 13:32, taking 3rd in my age group and 17th overall. My goal time was 11.5 hours so the knee cost me, but that time will have to wait for another year.”
Please join us in congratulating Bill on accomplishing his goal of completing the full ironman race, and best wishes on the recovery of his injured knee.
