He was originally from Cuba and has a Mexico passport. He has been a DM on the island for 17+ years and works up the street at 3P.

Jorge finished the Iron man 80th out of a field of 2800. He was 7th in his age group and first place of all Cozumel entrants. Although he shaved nine plus minutes off his last years time, he was a bit disappointed. His goal was to take ten minutes off the previous years time. His efforts in the swim and bike parts of the race were well ahead of last years times, but the running is where he had problems. Leg cramps slowed him down.
As for Australia, YES he has already paid his entry fees.

Nice!
I missed seeing Jorge Sunday at the Finish Line. Guess that happens with 2000+ competitors, when you're helping folks get to recovery or medical tent.

Glad to hear he competed and did well!
Thank you for the news!

And one can almost guarantee that the 79 folks ahead of him don't work full time for a demanding boss!
