Hoos doing an Ironman?
Serena Bolliger (Col ‘07) and Jay Ward (Col ‘07) finished the Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside on Saturday, March 30, 2013. Ward is already a full Ironman, having completed Ironman Texas in 2012. He will be doing Ironman Tahoe later this year.
The Ironman race is a 2.4-mile swim and a 112-mile bike ride followed by a marathon run (26.2 miles) and takes anywhere from 9 hours (for a pro) and 17 hours (the cutoff) to complete. The Ironman 70.3 is also known as the half Ironman distance, but it is certainly no small feat.
