Exceeding Expectations
at the
Challenged Athletes Foundation
2009
One of EE's favorite events...
At beautiful La Jolla Cove, just north of San Diego
Rudy Garcia-Tolson is always one of the star attractions
Athletes come from all over the world
Operation Rebound -- Wounded war vets
still competing as athletes
Seemed like there were a lot more young kids
than in previous years
Ironman finisher & hero Sarah Reinertsen
"He ain't heavy..."
More spectators every year
The EE crew waiting to take part in the 13.1-mile run
The kids sacked out at David Brenner's house the night before,
a semi-annual
tradition for years. (Proceeds from race-site
haircuts
went to the Challenged Athletes Foundation.)
In transition waiting for the signal to go
And they're off!
That's Archie (with
Jose hidden behind him),
Coach Cherie and Marlene. Josh was already long gone.
Josh is the first EE team member to finish, in a time of
1:45 after taking a wrong turn that cost him five minutes.
Jonah, one of many inspirational athletes
Archie proudly shows off his medal
Cherie ran with Jose and Marlene
What a thrill: A photo op with 2007 Ironman World champion
Chris "Macca" McCormack
A splendid time was had by all!
