Bob Pugsley and Joe Foley - IRONMEN!
Some of us haven't run more than 100 yards (all at once) since high school. Our own Bob Pugsley and Joe Foley have run two triathlon events only two weeks apart! The first was the "Lobsterman" in Freeport, ME and the latest was in Montauk, NY, the "MightyMan" event with over 1000 athletes.
-Montauk, NY 70.3miles - A Story of a True Ironman-
by Joe Foley
Over the past few years I have had the opportunity and privilege to train with a fellow coworker and true friend.
To give you a little background, Bob is a father of 4 great children. The oldest is 23, who is currently serving our country in Iraq, the youngest is 12. If you don’t catch Bob at work running and spinning the production department at CHS like a top, he is running to a soccer or a baseball game, or reading a Harry Potter Book with his youngest. How does he have time to do all that plus train for a Half Ironman? Alright, besides having a great wife!
Bob did not miss one training session, even when we were doing double sessions at 5:30 in the morning and then 5:30 at night. He never once complained about it. Like a rock he was solid in balancing his family, work and the grueling training of the Ironman. If there was ever someone I would consider a true Ironman on all facets of life, its Bob!
Congrats Bob on making a milestone 70.3 to be exact!
