Ironman World Championship

Every year in Kona, Hawai’i, the Ironman triathlon world championship basically takes over the city. This year, on October 11, 2008, over a thousand athletes run, bike, and swim the grueling course that has made Ironman–and Kona–famous.While I don’t know many triathletes (they always seem to be training instead of combing the beach for that perfect shell), my favorite Ironman story is about Major Bill Connor, who won a lottery spot in this year’s triathlon, and is training for it in Iraq. Now THAT’S multi-tasking. Way to go, Bill, we’re rooting for you.
