My jockstrap's latest podcast. Bobby traveled up to Lake Placid, NY on Sunday, July 25th to follow Pro Triathlete John Hirsch and holistic nutritionist Christine Lynch (a.k.a. HolisticGuru) as they each raced their own races at Ford Ironman Lake Placid 2010. This is his best podcast to date, hands down. He caught some amazing moments on video and in still photos that you won't see if you don't hang out with Ironmen and their supporters. I spent 95% of that day on my couch, in my pajamas, glued to the Ironman Live athlete tracker and live video feed, texting Bobby updated stats and tweeting. Um, and I think I spent 100% of the day pissed of at said athlete tracker. The video wasn't as bad this time around. I only started cussing when they kept cutting to video of Amy Marsh (the female winner) because I knew John would be coming into the oval anytime.
John finished in 9:36:33. Wow!
Christine looked amazing doing "The Gavin" at the finish. She had a beautiful smile on her face and with her pigtails bouncing she finished her first Ironman in 13:07:03.
Bobby has been an awesome supporter and great friend to me over the last year or so. I wouldn't be where I am without him: I've run 7 5K's, I'm 15 days away from competing in my first triathlon, 3 months away from my first half-mary and almost daily staring at a blank entry form to do an open water swim at the end of August. Through him I've "met" other amazing athletes, Ironmen and Ironmates. I've discovered some new things about myself and uncovered things I already knew that were buried deep within. I owe a lot to this guy.
Including a punch in the throat for making me cry watching this damn video.
Bobby's awesome IMLP photos are HERE.
Mrs. TheyTri also has some great photos HERE.
