Tim is on the big island of Hawaii competing in the Ultraman World Championship. Ultraman is a 3-day long triathlon that circumnavigates the island.

The third and final day is a 52.4 mile double Marathon run.
The results at the end of Day 1 have Tim in 2nd place - 44 minutes behind 2004 Ultraman World Champion Jonas Colting.
