Show 10 Triathlete readies for Kona contest Sgt Douglas C. Brunelle by Staff 367th Training Support Squadron What does an eternal sea of choppy waters. 112 miles of rolling hills and sharp curves, and 26 miles or endless black tar mean to the average person? To a triathlete, it means another day of trying to beat your best time and the other competitors who began at the starting line with you. On May 19, Staff Sgt. Rob Wieland. a Combat Camera videographer for the 367th Training Support Squadron, completed Ironman California in 9:43:25 to place 47th out of 1,700 participants. He also placed 1 1th out of 361 in the 30-3- 4 age group to qualify for the Ironman World Triathlon Championships in Kona, Hawaii. An Ironman Triathlon consists of a swim, 1 run. To compete bike ride and a 26.2-mil- e in the Ironman Championships you have to be in the e percent of your age group at one of 21 top worldwide qualifiers. Most of these events are Iron-ma- n distance. Wieland has been competing in triathlons for approximately seven years, and has raced in four Armed Forces Triathlon Championships. I le has been ranked in the top 50 for his age group by USA Triathlon numerous times throughout his career. This was Wieland's second attempt at the Ironman California distance triathlon, where he improved his time by one hour and 39 minutes. "Now that I've qualified for Kona, I've finally achieved one of my goals. The next step is to stay under 10 hours in Kona," Wieland said. "Some people say that I have been given a gift to allow me to compete at this level, and they are right. Without the support of who is my coach, motivator, nutritionist, my wife and allows me to be on the bike for what seems to be 2.4-mil- e 12-mi- le two-to-fiv- endless hours I wouldn't be able to compete. She is truly a gift from God. She is the first person I hug at the end of my races, and never thinks twice about what makes me do this." Talking to Wieland's wife, Jenny, you can't help see just how proud and supportive she is of her husband. "Rob puts a lot of time and energy into his training but he always puts his family first and I appreciate that. At 0430 hours, his alarm goes off and then he's gone," she said. "Rob swims in the mornings, rides and runs in the afternoons so that he can be here to spend quality time with our son Nate, daughter Emma and me. If Rob should need to run while at home, he does it after the kids are in bed so that he's here when we need him. "I know that Rob would stop racing tomorrow if I asked him to but I would never take that away from him. Everyone needs something in their life that is just for themselves and for Rob it's triathlons. I'm glad to be part of that." On Oct. 6 at 7 a.m., Wieland wili begin his 140.6-mil- e which started with thousands of pilgrimage hours and miles of training to see if he can break that personal milestone of under 10 hours at one of the most prestigious triathlons in the world.
