On Saturday November 13, 2010 one of our veteran long distance competitors, Kevin White, represented the Barrie TC Baydogs in the Foster Grant Ironman World Championships 70.3. After qualifying for Clearwater at Rohto Ironman 70.3 Hawaii, Kevin spent the summer training to accomplish one goal: go sub 5:00 against the best in the world.
Setting many personal bests at the Tuesday night Time Trials, pushing himself faster at Kevin O'Neill's speed work, Kevin wanted to finish his season strong. He also travelled to Michigan in August to compete in the Steelhead 70.3 to get himself physically ready to go faster than he has before.
On a 'clear' day in Clearwater, Kevin White set out to achieve a goal, and achieve he did. Kevin not only finished the World Championships, not only set a new Personal Best for a 70.3 course, but accomplished his goal of completing the course with a sub 5:00 time.
