Our Newest Ironman

This post is LONG overdue. My apologies to Winslow for taking so long to put this on the blog.

The RMEC is proud to announce that Winslow Rogers has joined the rare class of an IRONMAN. On the morning of June 26th, Winslow began his Ironman journey at the Coeur d'Alene race in Idaho. Late that evening under temporary lighting Winslow crossed the finish line. The total event took 14 hours 45 minutes and 23 seconds.

His splits were as follows:
  • Swim 1:45:50
  • Bike 7:12:02
  • Run 5:58:02
If you are not familiar with the Ironman distance, this is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and then a 26.2 mile marathon. It is a true test of endurance and will. You are in a small group of company when you are with Ironmen. The RMEC is very proud to now have four in our club. Winslow joins, Cliff Amos, Jason Irvin, and Kinnie Pruden.

If anyone does not know Winslow, he is "Mr. Incredible" at the top of the RMEC blog. Great job Winslow!
