Orahu asked for an update on my wife’s 1/2 Triathlon yesterday. Thanks Ron!
My wife completed her first 1/2 Triathlon/Ironman ( the Eagleman, named after the Eagles found in this part of the Eastern shore on the Chesapeake Bay ) while she didn’t win 1st place ( which was her goal ) she did make the podium at 3rd place.
She already thinking about the next one. A certified Crazy person. I’m so proud of her!
Getting ready for the swim portion of the race.

Whoa!!!
From one competitor to another well done 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 that smile is priceless…literally!
That’s amazing, Larry.
Huge congratulations to her for such a big accomplishment. Very impressive!
Such an amazing achievement!
Huge congratulations to her. I couldn't be more impressed. Best, Emmanuel
That really is a great achievement big congratulations to her.
As someone that now struggles to make it just to the car I really can't even imagine the level of fitness required to do an half Triathlon/Ironman. Marc
I wish I was but unfortunately chronic back pain after multiple complex spinal surgeries and fusion of the spine from L2-S1 have taken a toll.
Pre my back issues I used to work and train Dobermann's for personal protection and could walk for hours plus training, those were fun times. Marc
Please send my congratulations to her!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾
Love seeing this!!! It’s inspiring to see her achieve this fantastic result!🥂
Will do Mark!
it’s funny, she been dissecting her results Vs other winners. She was only 3 min behind the male winner in the swim, so she is going to focus on the bike & run training for the next one. As I mentioned earlier, she is a Crazy person and I love her for it....
Congrats Mrs. Kelley!!
Larry, incredible and impressive result. You both must be very proud. Congrats!
That is too funny Sebastian, Me or Her?!
I actually bought her the Breitling Ironman 4 months ago , when she signed up. It’s quartz ( no judgement ) kinda large but still cool. ...
Both! The one for you, one for me principle. 😂
I’m just glad that in her photo you didn’t sneak your watch or shoes in the shot🤣 - but Hugh’s huge congrats to her again.
Thank you B! You’ll get back, be patient!
there was a day when I could keep up with her and she is very fit.
Amazing Larry, congrats to your wife.
My question, as I used to be in that world for a while, is she going to Worlds? I assume 3rd in AG gets a spot but it’s been a while that I was around the sport so I’m not sure. Congrats to her again, to be out there participating is a challenge, to be co...
Jay, I believe you’re correct, she would get an invitation to Worlds in Spain/November. Thanks for the Congratulations and nice comments!
The challenge, is we have a 3 week trip to Asia leading up to Worlds and I’m not sure she would have time to train properly. Knowing her personality, she would be frustrated that her training schedule wouldn’t prepare her to compete adequately. I’ll suppo...
Yeah, three weeks on vacation away from the bike and pool is not ideal.
But it would be nice to be in Spain; in theory the best age group athletes in the world. I did short course and long course for about a decade; sometimes complete sometimes compete! It was fun. Been keeping it far simpler the last several years by just ru...
I think she will shoot for the following year, but I can tell she’s kinda disappointed. She is going to work on her biking, that’s where she lost time.
Nice, a decade of doing those is a serious commitment. Plus, running is a fabulous way of exploring and getting a feel for a city. Thanks again for chiming in Jay! Btw- I’m still in love with your RG C!
😂
All downhill from here…and (a Tri joke) “aero”. Triathlon can be a really expensive sport. You might need to lock up your watches. (I actually sold a watch many years ago to fund a new bike purchase).
Trust me , she’s got years of spending before she touches the surface of my watch purchases.
I’m super stroked that she’s jumping into this sport and not surprised around the associated costs. That’s some serious commitment, selling your watch for a bike. I hope it was something you didn’t love.
Huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I usually just supported my colleagues with logistics and made sure they were well fed and watered but never ran myself 😊
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Huge accomplishment she must be on top of the world!!! These events and completing them is so satisfying!!!!!
Hey Greg, she is very pleased with her results. thanks for the nice comments!
She already trying to figure out how to get her bike time down.
She hadn’t had any alcohol for the weeks leading up to this event.
Our neighbors are having a party for her this week. Great idea, I’ll bring some bubbly.
