Ian completes the Iron Man Wales!
Sunday 08th September 2013
A mere 12 hours and 41 minutes of swimming, cycling and running........ up and down hills, in the rain. ![](/Data/SiteImages/emoticons/tinymce/smiley-cool.gif)
Can you see me in there ? (I'm in a black wetsuit!)
![Photo: IronManWales 8th Sept 2013 – Finished!
422nd overall out of 1,675 entrants : 12 hrs 41 mins with plenty of Rain, Sun and Huge Welsh Hills!!
1,152nd after the 3.8km sea swim (room to improve!) 1hr:32min
337th on the 180km cycle (2,600m ascent) 6hr:31 (overtook 630 people, and nobody got me!)
417th on the marathon run (also horribly hilly) 4hrs:18
20 mins of transition due to the 1.5km run up the beach, a cliff and through town to the bikes!
The people of Wales put on simply the best party atmosphere ever! Awesome event.
Do it.......!](https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/p480x480/1233447_10151599018196314_904705079_n.jpg)

It was this that convinced me to have a go at Tour de Force 2014.......... and set up this website to monitor my progress ........ !!
Hope you enjoy it.
