2008 RyanMan 70.3 Triathlon

The Third Annual Ryanman Triathlon! The first year, it was a full Ironman distance: 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run. Last year and this year, it was a half-Ironman or 70.3 triathlon (1.2 miles swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run - 70.3 miles total). The Ryanman is a "fun" triathlon. It's not really a race - we try to keep the group together, and regroup at the transitions as necessary.

Four people completed the swim, 8 people started the bike, with 6 people completing the entire 56 miles, and 14 people started the run, with 3 completing the 13.1 mile distance.

Two people, Team NordicSkiRacers Ryan "Ryanman" Robinson and Mike Muha, finished the entire event.

The party after was fabulous!
