TEMPE TOWN LAKE
Michael competed in his first Ironman 70.3. For those of you who do not know it is 1/2 the distance of a full Ironman. 70.3 miles total which breaks down to swimming 1.2 miles, cycling 56 miles and finishing off with a 13.1 mile run. He completed it in 6 hours and 40 minutes.
The time displayed was from the race start. He was in the 4th wave of swimmers so the official time was 13 minutes less.
Here is part of his awesome support crew who proudly wore their Team Hill shirts.

Even with his knee issues on the run he finished with a smile on his face. He felt great the whole time and said if the knee will allow then Ironman 2013 is next!
