Google Tony Measley

If you're bored at work on Monday, Google the name "Tony Measley". In fact, let me do it for you. "Google"

What you'll find will include a complete, retired career in elementary education. You'll see projects, programs and agendas from his home area, Lower Dauphin School District.

What you might not see, until later this week, is his named next to USA Triathlon's page, compliments of his finish in the September 29th, 2007 Lewes Triathlon. He swam. He biked. He ran. It was this former teacher's latest brush with IT and new technology as every race competitor was required to wear an anklet to track their course.

As the race was begun, their anklets beepd as they passed the starting line. When they came back to the transition area to hop their bikes, it beeped again. Before the race was over, the tracking devise would tick four times, including the finish line, a mark Tony would hit in just under two hours.

And though his time of 1:55:00 (one hour, fifty five minutes) might not make the leader board on the USA Triathlon's website, making his name no more "Google'able", I'm typing this quick blog in hopes someone checks it out, Google's Tony Measley and sees how proud I am as his son and teammate for his next Triathlon, hopefully soon.
