You are an IRONMAN !

 

Leslie Dupuy and Lori Culberson.

What else is there to say?! Lori and Leslie signed up for Ironman Florida a year ago.  Today-- lined up with more than 2,500 athletes-- they fought hard in a colder than usual Panama City Beach to finally experience the triumph of achieving their own individual goals.

Lori finished the beach start two-loop swim in 1:37:03, completed the one-loop  bike in 7:13:03, and then ran the marathon portion of the race in 6:37:28. Her overall time was 15:46:23... then she got to  hear the words she had been waiting on for a year:

               "Lori Culberson you are an IRONMAN!"

Leslie Dupy had a 1:24:00 swim, which was held right behind the Boardwalk Beach Resort.  She then finished the bike course in 7:03:08  and ran 26.2 miles in 5:24:45.   Leslie crossed the finish line of her 2nd career Ironman with a 14:17:14.  This was a PR for Leslie who wrapped up this race an hour and 14 minutes faster than her first ironman performance!!
