Six local dads, all over the age of 40, competed in the Iron Man Triathlon in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho on Father's Day. "LATR" (Lamorinda All Three Racing) put in a year of dedicated training to prepare for the event and it paid off-every man completed the race in their goal of less than 12 hours. Jim Huchingson qualified for the Kona Iron Man.

The six men: Bret Goodman, Lafayette; Carter Hemming, Orinda; Rob Giglio, Moraga; Ken Webster, Lafayette; Blake Wise, Moraga; Jim Huchingson, Lafayette.
