Half an Ironman radio for half an Ironman

I got lazy last week and never finished my posts. We were all proud of Tom, here are his times:
swim: 51:18
bike: 3:48:37
run: 2:22:4
overall: 7:15:15

He came in 700th place, out of more than 1,000 competitors.

I was so proud of him, in fact, I decided to give him a gift. Something nice. So my dad and I cut an Ironman radio in half using a power hack saw. We cut it package and all. But when we were about done the radio fell out of the package. In retrospect, it would have been easier to remove the radio from the molded plastic package first, cut it, then return it to the package. Cutting it in the package was trickier and slivers of radio made a mess inside the package. Next time, we'll know better.
