This effort qualified her for Hawaii in her first attempt, and just missed setting the Female 50-54 course record by only 2 seconds.  Wendy is a very dedicated athlete that I have been coaching for the past two years.  She is looking forward to her first attempt at Kona in 2008. Keep up the good work. Jim BoldraHigh 5 Hywel Davies sent through a High 5 for Running in the dark.

If you need to take a breath do a stroke with one arm (breathing to the side, not the front)Keep your face down in the water (keeps hips up)As you start to slow bring your kick back in followed by 1 arm swimming, try to stay on the wave as long as possibleIron Rusts, Ironmen Don’t, Train Hard, Train Smart: Kia Kaha
