Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
Continuing her steady comeback from 2004's serious knee injury, Rachel
Sears took a mellow approach to her day in the lava fields, opting to
learn about the course, conditions and work on nutrition while gaining
invaluable experience for a future top performance in Hawaii. Rachel
smiled her way through a very conservative race day and finished 44th pro
female in 11:43.
Rachel sends her thanks to the countless people who helped her both get to
Kona, and supported her while she was on the island and in the race.
Thanks to: Christ Artibello, Scott and Julie Gix, Abe Gonzales, Armand
Vasquez,
Andrew Webber, Alexis, Noel, Les and Erin Waddell, Heather and Todd
Gollnick, Zennie Abraham, Hugh Walton, Frank Day, Chris Travers and Mark
Vandermolen, Blue Competitions Cycles, Tom Fox, Becky and Brian Lavelle,
