#WA8UNS @WA8UNS #ridgefieldct #Ridgefield in #FairfieldCounty #CT Thomas Q Kimball of Ridgefield, Connecticut wanted to share Thomas Q Kimball WA8UNS from Ridgefield, Connecticut wanted to share an old article

“Triathlete Goes The Distance Endurance Rider September 26, 1991”

The newspaper article from 1991 is about finishing my first full Ironman Triathlon 2.4 mile swim 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run. My first attempt in 1990 was a DNF Did Not Finish as had to call quits 13 miles into the 26.2 mile run. I was only about 21 years old and 22 years old when I did them.

I had to stop doing triathlons in about 1995 as I could not keep up with the expense but did love to race.

#WA8UNS @WA8UNS #ThomasQuickKimball #ThomasKimball #ridgefieldct #Ridgefield @ridgefield in #FairfieldCounty #FairfieldCountyCT #CT #Connecticut Thomas Q Kimball of Ridgefield, Connecticut wanted to share that he is glad he was able to run in the Wolfpit Running Club 40th Annual Pamby Ridgefield Half Marathon, Sunday, October 2, 2016. As this would be the last time that two great Wolfpit Running Club members would co-direct this race Rick Favier and John Dugdale. My first Pamby Ridgefield Half Marathon dates back all the way to 1989. I did miss a few years in-between 1989-2016. This also would be my first half marathon since I had torn my achilles in 2013 in training for the 2013 Marine Corps Marathon. Finally after seeing a different doctor I had surgery on my right achilles July 2014. Since my surgery in which there is one or two permanent stitches. So since I couldn’t race 2013-2014-2015 I was still able to volunteer for the race. My first Marathon dates back to 1986. Marathon de Paris International Marathon de Paris 1986 with the Proselec Delacquis Demenagements Clamart, France Running Club which I think was apart of Etudes et Productions Schlumberger 92140 Clamart France since my father was transferred there with the family and I 1984 through 1986 from Schlumberger-Doll Research SDR Ridgefield, Connecticut. I have a handful of marathons and half marathon, bike races, triathlons, Ironman distance triathlons to Ultra-Marathons under my belt. I do not bike race and or do triathlons as I could not keep up with the ever raising cost of a race bike and or triathlon bike. As everything even the cost to race has gone up. A lot different then when I had used to do it mid 1980’s to about the mid 1990’s

I have volunteered at the New York Road Runners (NYRR) #NYRR #TCSNewYorkCityMarathon #NewYorkCityMarathon TCS New York City Marathon since 2009,2010,2013, 2014, 2015 . 2016 will mark my 6th year volunteering for the New York City Marathon doing Amateur Radio Ham Radio Emergency Communications for the event. 2015 mark the first year working at mile 23 as past years working at mile 24. I have never had a opportunity to run race in The New York City Marathon as of yet.

I have volunteered at the New York Road Runners (NYRR) #NYRR #TCSNewYorkCityMarathon #NewYorkCityMarathon TCS New York City Marathon since 2009,2010,2013, 2014, 2015 . 2016 marks my 6th year volunteering for the New York City Marathon doing Amateur Radio Ham Radio Emergency Communications for the event. 2015 mark the first year working at mile 23 as past years working at mile 24. I have never had a opportunity to run race in The New York City Marathon as of yet.

Being that I’m a former marathon and ultra-marathon and ironman distance triathlete I understand what it is like competing in these events. And sometimes the pain and suffering it takes to be able to finish one of these events. And maybe in 2017 I might be able to run in the New York City Marathon myself. But currently in recovery since a achilles partial tear and my achilles surgery on July 17th 2014, Been doing marathons since 16 years old might have contributed to this tear,

Bloomin' Metric 100km 1983 1st 62.14 mile bike tour

My Passion was with cycling and swimming and running and doing triathlons and bike racing. Also hiking and skiing. And maybe one day I’ll be back working in the Bicycle Cycle industry again. I hope one day able to go back to Paris, France but doubful as everyone else in my family has been back once. I had enjoyed living in Paris, France in 1984 1985 1986 but we had to come back to the United States. Having a learning disability didn’t help matters as the school only had a extra help class so made it difficult as the International School of Paris follows the British curriculum International Baccalaureate World School; offer all three IB programs (PYP, MYP and IB Diploma). Plus my father’s contact with Etudes et Productions Schlumberger 92140 Clamart France was up after 2 and half years but I think might have been able to extend.

So after 2 1/2 years in Paris we moved back to Redding, CT even though I’m pretty sure my father might have been able to extend his contact to stay. But I was failing at school. My sister found the International School of Paris to easy and or not challenging and went off to go to the Marymount International School, Paris in Paris, France. So within the family became both challenging academically and athletically. As well as obtaining grants and scholarships.

My work as a bike mechanic didn’t last long in the shop I was working at when I had come back to Connecticut that I was to slow in building the bikes so that career had ended even with all the money that my family had spent to send me there. But maybe one day might enjoy getting back into the bike cycling industry and maybe work part-time at a bike shop.
