Epic HERD weekend, with 7 of the HERD in Morro Bay, and 5 strong in Chattanooga!
IRONMAN 70.3 Morro Bay saw The HERD + friends and family of a mighty 17 strong, SHOW UP, including 6 newbies! Incredible results, from Bryce’s aka Cookies speedy 4:50 race time, and strong finishes for Brewmeister & Kona, and the most important milestone - everyone in our group crossing the finish line!
There was a lot of suffering, with some volunteering for the pain, and others earning it with a full day out on the course, but all endured! Shepherd said, “I teared up watching my Breezy hopping in to the sea on one leg to kickoff this NEW IRONMAN venue!” Following her into the water were Cliff & Marcus, Bryce, Tessa, Brennan, Brookelyn & her boyfriend Ian, and Breezy’s friends Grace & Emily. Rounding out the crew was Jeff Legge, along with 3 sons Mitch, Nic & Zach, all conquering Morro Bay’s IRONMAN 70.3 course!
The HERD's Cookies, Brewmeister, Kona, Zach-Attack and Nic all looked strong, but IMMB70.3 was yet another reminder that while the body can do amazing things and you can finish, your race day will be better with the regular discipline of training, with family and newbies alike, and it certainly helps to ease some of the pain!
Anyway you slice it, great weekend living life… Go HERD!
