Portage Junk Yard Dogs Tackle the Half Ironman/Foilman @ Morden

 

With a 7:00 A.M. start and the temperature upwards of 30+ degrees by the end of the race, 3 Portage Junk Yard Dogs had a grueling workout!

Brett Foley completed the Foilman. Foilman distances are 950m swim, 30km bike and a 10.5km run. Brett finished 17th out of 62 competitors in the Foilman and 1st in his age category. Swim was completed in 17:42; bike in 1:02:54 and the run in 52:56 for a total time of  2:13:30:2.

Dave Foley and John Ferg completed the Half Ironman in preparation for the full Ironman in Whistler later this summer. The Half Ironman consists of a 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, and 21 km run (the equivalent of a half marathon).

Dave finished 26th out of 57 competitors or 4th out of 8 in his age category. He had an amazing swim with a time of 35:58 followed by a bike of 3:24:41 and a run of 2:06:31. Total time 6:07:08:4.

John finished 31st out of 57 competitors or 5th out of 8 in his age category. He completed the swim with a time of 47:44, made some time up on his bike at 3:17:26 and finished the run of 2:07:49. Total time 6:12:56:9.
