Good Luck ONS (Odie Williams) at Memorial Herman Ironman Texas

Good Luck to Odie Williams "ONS" 
as you venture towards the finish line of your first Ironman,
Memorial Herman Ironman Texas.
We're cheering for you every stroke, every step of every mile.
   


A few WooHoo's at SouthShore's hot tub with ONS before
shipping him off to Texas where he will become as "IRONMAN".
Are these 5:45 AM swims worth it?
"Yes, because I will be an Ironman!"


Welcome to Lake Woodlands, The Woodlands Texas.
We invite you to swim 2.4 miles
in our regularly "off limits" waters with the locals.
And, by locals we mean Water Moccasins.

Water Mocassin (we'll call him "Mocca") 
pops his head out during the practice swim 
Lake Woodlands, TX.


ONS with his gals; daughter Maddy (Lil Rock) and fiance Aimee (Mid Rock)
Whew no water mocassin!
Hopefully, "Mocca" isn't ticked he was left out tomorrow.


Dropping off the bike at Transition!


It's getting real now!


"Hey Dude, will you take a pic of me with my bike?
Tomorrow, I will be an Ironman."


Setting out the gear bag.

ONS has moved on to the art of identifying people by voice.

Good luck sneaking in and out of the house when you're older Maddy.
Your dad has some Hearing SKILZ.


 This is where ONS leaves "Mocca" behind tomorrow!
End of the Swim.


ONS following the Karen Smyers' 3-2-1 taper strategy.

"Now that's what I would call the purrrrrrfect hydration plan for a hot Ironman!
U go Odie!  All the Woo Hoo's wish you the best!"
-- Coach MMB (John Brinker)
