From there, they can create fully custom gaskets unique to each eye – and pair them with the exact right nose-bridge from their wide selection of pre-made widths to create a pair of goggles that matches perfectly to you.

As the Hawaiian Ironman start approaches the start/finish is a maelstrom. Here is what it looks like earlier in the morning.

We’re 20 miles into the run. Sanders continues to chug and thrust and tilt and hump to the win… maybe. Ryf? No apparent weakness.

You ride for show; you run for dough. That’s what all the pros who race here have known for a generation. Lange ran for dough and got it.
