7.12.08 Ironman WA 2008 Congratulations to all of the Trysport athletes that successfully completed Ironman WA 2009. Great conditions made for some impressive times! Well done to Ross Taylor who was the stand out for mine this year! Since the inception of the race I would walk past the Kookaburra Caravan Park and see 'Rossco', who I know from my time at Swan Districts Football Club, ( he was the Head Trainer) sitting in the deck chair, beer in hand, watching the race. Every year he would say to me how great this event is, how inspiring, how tough and how he would like to do it.......... one day. It became a bit like 'Groundhog Day' every IM WA. I would walk past and Ross would say to me, 'I will do this one day Budgie'. Last year he spoke with a bit more conviction; 'I will come in to see you next week to discuss my build up to Ironman 2008'. Hats off to you Ross Taylor, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN, an Ironman Western
