Ironman China Race Report

Congratulations to Ironman triathlete Steve Fung of Orinda, CA.
Steve triumphed in China at his very first Ironman under what
were considered the toughest conditions of any Ironman in history.
Coach Rachel Casanta of Hypercat Racing said “Steve was tenacious
and unrelenting in his preparations for Ironman China. He listened
to his body, but he pushed himself as far as he could go. His finish at Ironman
China is a testament to his mental and physical toughness.”

Time: 13:55
Swim: 1:24
Bike: 5:55
Run: 6:30 (113 degree heat!)

Steve will enjoy some short course racing in early summer, but already has
his eyes on his next big challenge, Ironman Arizona on November 22, 2009.
Way to go, Steve!
