2009 Ironman Championship on NBC This Saturday
I HAVE YET TO QUALIFY FOR THE KONA CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. But I’ll keep doing Ironman races until I do qualify. I had an opportunity to go to Kona about five years ago to watch the race when I was doing some work with the World Triathlon Corporation which owns the Ironman brand. It was inspiring.
I’m looking forward to watching the broadcast on Saturday. It will highlight the physical and emotional journey during the renowned 140.6-mile race which actually took place on October 10th. Veteran sports commentator, Al Trautwig, narrates.
Like the Olympics, watching Ironman races moves me to tears. I’m a big baby when it comes to watching well-made telecasts about big human achievements.
