Out of the water in 1:22 is our triathlon editor @nystrummin! The kit he's wearing is our special #ACTIVEx gear just for our employees. We think he looks pretty sharp! Michael is off on the @ironmantri bike leg, topped off by a 26.2-mile run. How are you spending your Saturday?! #swimbikerun #imtx #ironman #triathlon #imnachamps

Crushing the Competition

In first place is @tri_starky, a 34-year old professional #triathlete from Chicago. He'll have to hold onto his lead over the next 26.2 miles with several other pros hot on his heels. Our triathlon editor, @nystrummin, is still on the bike but looking strong! #imtx #imnachamps #IRONMAN #triathlon #swimbikerun

And it's on to the run for our editor @nystrummin! He crushed the 95-mile bike leg with a 4:32 and is out for his 26.2-mile final run. The bike portion of a full IRONMAN is usually 112 miles, but had to be shortened due to recent rain and flooding in the area. #IRONMAN #imtx #imnachamps #triathlon #swimbikerun

Congratulations @nystrummin, you are an IRONMAN! Our #triathlon editor finished just before storms swept through the Houston area, forcing athletes off the course temporarily to ensure their safety. The official finish time has been pushed to midnight, meaning some athletes are still out there and need your support!🏽 #IRONMAN #imtx #imnachamps #swimbikerun #MyACTIVE
