It will be Antonio’s 7th time racing Kona.

Great Floridian Ironman Wedding in Vector Pro X2s
Kent Fawcett and Danelle Weidman married on Saturday, October 24, 2009 right before the Great Floridian Triathlon, an Ironman distance race in Clermont, Florida…wearing XTERRA Vector Pro X2 wetsuits!
The happy couple has competed in 50 races together since meeting six years ago and Kent proposed to Danelle with a bike in lieu of a ring.
The groom started the race, but had to drop out early due to pain from a cracked rib suffered in a training accident. He was waiting for his bride at the finish line when she crossed at 14:50. For their honeymoon, Kent and Danelle will compete in a 100-mile run in March.

Congratulations to you both!
