I’m here in Nice to support my friend Pam who is #211 in the race. This is her second Ironman, she completed Ironman Arizona last year. The race started with swimming at 6:30am. This post will have mostly pics, I don’t think many words are necessary.
All of these pics are mine and you don’t have permission to use them without asking me first, ok? Thanks. I wouldn’t steal anything from you so please have the same respect.
I will post more later, but right now I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.
After all the competitors were in the water, there was a DJ with music blaring and an announcer was giving information in French, English, and Spanish. The ambiance was filled with excitement.
The first competitor came out of the water about 45 minutes after he started.
The last three are of my friend. GO PAM!
So much fun! I can’t imagine doing the Nice bike and run course – SO hilly! How did your friend do? This was so much a part of our lives (doing triathlons) and we miss it so much. It’s time to get back in shape and start doing them again!! Thanks for the pics and reminders of how much fun it is and how inspiring!
We aren’t sure if she finished the bike or not. The Ironman site has no updates for her since she completed a portion of the bike and we waited for her to jog by for almost 2 hours and still haven’t seen her. So we don’t know what to think. She’s already an Ironman, she completed Phoenix. If you do a triathlon please let me know! I’d love to support you.
Great photos and Pam is truly a winner! Love that woman!
