| The race continues. Riders come in and turn around for the final leg of the bike segment. They will, then, run North to Butler's Bay and back to the starting point in order to finish the course. |
|
Some of the first athletes get ready for the run. |
| |

More riders give up their bikes for running shoes. |

Picking up the pace. |

| |
|
|
Relays are still happening for the third leg of the competition. |
| |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
Steadily the athletes arrive for the run. |

The timekeepers are very serious about keeping accurate scores. Many of these contestants will be entering the Iron Man Competition in May and want to have accurate measurements of their progress. |

As the runners cross the finish line, their time is recorded in the little white box by Mr. Wallace Williams. |
| |
| |
|
|
The first runners are in and have finished. Now it is up to the rest of the field to arrive as soon as possible. |

And as those finished become the greater crowd, we wait for the final few to cross the finish line. Crowds cheer on each athlete as they approach the finish line. We could all use some cheer once in a while. |

And the last to finish, finish together with a police escort. |

The prizes are handed out. Sunglasses! And we thought it would be the Jeep! Well, maybe for the Iron Man... |
