The personal belongings of the athletes participating in the Haugesund Iron Man. Nearly 1700 bags. It took close to two hours to sort them and hang them up in numerical order. We were about 20 doing this!
Every athlete that completed the Iron Man (and wasn't disqualified) got a medal.
The winner: Norwegian Gustav Iden. He completed the course in just under 3h45m.
Irom man indeed. Wow! He takes fit to a whole other level.
ReplyDeleteThe last man to hobble in, needed more than double that time. And I would have needed a day! I was very impressed by it all though.
DeleteI can imagine it was great to see it.
DeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteAll ship-shape and bristol-fashion then... were there other than Norwegians competing? YAM xx
There were Dutch, Belgians, Poles, Swedes, Fins, Turks, French, Eastern European (didn't recognize all the flags, just now they are from Eastern Europe), Australian and/or New Zealand, American and British. And there were probably a few more I have missed.
Delete...crikey, a proper, full-on Iron Man then! Yx
DeleteWhat an amazing fete to complete something like this. Look at how organized you had this set up! Well, you and the 20 other folks.
ReplyDeleteAnd after everything was hung up, we double checked and still people got the wrong bag! Even I gave a gentleman the wrong number bag. Same numbers, different order! He wasn't angry though.
DeleteThat must have been a fun time. At least it sounds like fun to me!
