Congrats to All HR Training Tinman Team Members

Congrats to all of you who participated in the 2008 Annual Tinman Triathlon. It was a great day for some and not so great for others.

Race results are below:

Thankfully Jami Hirota & Bocar Wade are both doing fine considering the nature of their accidents. Jami was cutoff by a car resulting in both Jami and another athlete broadsiding the car. Jami was unable to finish the race. She did require hospitalzation but is doing fine.

Bocar (as I understand it) tried to avoid an officer standing in the road at the bottom of Heart Break hill and lost control and went down. His bike is in two pieces but he is doing fine. Another rider went down in almost the same place prior to Bocar so I'm not sure if this had anything to do with the officer being in an unusal spot in the road.

We are very happy that both of you are alive and doing well considering!

On a happier note there were a number of other HR clinic folks that raced.

Eleanor Kitagawa took her age group! That's awesome even if you were the only one in that bracket! :) Cheryl Nishita placed 11th overall in her bracket. Sandra Wataoka placed 15th in the same bracket. Awesome job to both of you. Dottie Suno raced as well although for some reason she isn't listed. Hopefully she can straighten this out.

In the team event, The team of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (Ruta Summers, Emily Callan & Judy Strait-Jones) finished 7th in thier bracket.

Pomai was planning on being a spectator! Silly Boy! He was asked, or volunteered depending on who you talk to, to join a team that was short their runner! This team finished 7th overall in the mixed team bracket! Great job!

A future HR Team member (whether she likes it or not :) ) who continues to amaze us is Marlene Zeug. She took third in her age bracket and still HASN'T clipped in! Talking about guts and determination!

Congrats to all of you! You all have done a fantastic job! Now it's time to rest up for next years season!

WAY TO GO TEAM HR at Waimea

Great swims by HR team. This race was almost 10 minutes slow this year. Must have set up the course wrong or current. We will have to get the scoop from the swimmers on which it was.

Great swims Gang,

Here is the link to the race results.
