Paul Moore… Off To KONA! 🌴
Congratulations and well done to Paul Moore on qualifying for Kona at Cairns last weekend 🚀
After racing for 10h 18m and putting together his best Ironman performance to date (Note: NOT fastest time) Paul ended ‘in the mix’ in his AG… but it took a while for IM to determine how they were going to place Paul and the athlete who finished less than a second quicker than him after 226km of racing. As it turned out the official results show them equal 8th. Unfortunately, at the time of roll down the decision hadn’t been finalized and all 8 Kona spots for Paul’s age group were claimed… 😬
In the end Ironman honored the 8th place finish and Paul’s positivity, patience (in more ways than one) and persistence has paid off. he has come close many times over the years but with a few tweaks in preparation, fueling/hydration and importantly; mindset we have one very happy 50 year old triathlete! 👏
Onwards to the BIG island 🤙
