California Ironman 70.3 Update

 Eleven CEOs are signed up for the AIG CEO Challenge at the Ford California Ironman 70.3 in Oceanside on March 29. These 11 CEOs head up companies with a combined $2.8 Billion in annual revenue, and include Brent de Jong, founder of AEI, a company the delivers energy to 6.1 million customers, and has 11,800 employees. Also racing in California is long-time CEO Challenge supporter, John Schlagenhauf of Badger Truck Center in Wisconsin – this will be John’s ninth CEO Challenge event (including the very first one in Lake Placid in 2001)! Other CEO Challenge ‘alumni’ include Adam Alonso of EMS, Lonnie Hunter of Bennet DeLoney & Noyes, and Jimmy Palma of LAPT Investments.The winner of the CEO Challenge in California will earn a much coveted slot to Kona, Hawaii where they will meet 9 others for the CEO Ironman World Championship, and battle for the title of ‘Fittest CEO in the World’. Based purely on past performance, it looks like the front-runner for the win in California is John Schlagenhauf, who finished Ford Ironman USA Lake Placid in 10:52. However, we expect strong competition from Bryan Gonzalez of Channel Electric (5:22 at Honu), Julian Coiner of 007 Real Estate (11:51 at Ford Ironman Florida) and Brent de Jong (12:00 at Ironman UK).Regardless of who wins, the CEOs are in for a great weekend in California. It all kicks off with a fantastic Dinner with the Pros on Thursday night at the La Costa Resort, and will wind up with the CEO Awards Dinner in Carlsbad on Saturday night.For more information on the CEOs entered in the event please go to www.ceochallenges.com/profiles.

Here’s my plan, tentatively, for the season.  I have reg forms for the Walkersville/Heritage 5K to bring to the next meeting.  It may be too short a distance for some of you, but it benefits the reading programs at Glade & Walkersville Elementary Schools.  I hope the links work!
