SWIM COURSE
BIKE COURSE
RUN COURSE
Bringing a gladiator mentality to race
Of mashed potatoes and Ironman races
‘Health, body, mind and soul’
Family Support Always Key For Kuhar
Swim to the V, then swim back to the flag
It takes a special kind of crazy
A crash and a barefooted sprint
Have to get to that post-race party
