Contender Puerto Rico Half Ironman water safety detail with bycicles on water.

Triathlon events have grown much since I did my first one in 1987. The event has three venues; swimming, cycling and running. There are different distances leading to the full Ironman distance which is double of our event. I have witnessed some island triathletes become Ironman finishers even in Hawaii.

It's been awhile

I never got much paddling in this summer, however last week I scored a nice wave day, which isn't easy in place where we don't get good surf. Waist high waves, light winds, warm temps, and the sun was shining. Spent 3 hours scoring waves with my friend, and we were the only 2 out. It was awesome. Hoping this Sunday is going to bring some more waves again, cause it's flat out there now. Continue

You need to be away from the city lights...around 2 am...is the best time to view it. I hope someone experienced does this and tell me all about it! (Tip: if you can find a lake by a mountain, that's ideal). Continue
