MightyMan Half Iron Montauk

Check it off your bucket list!

On Sunday, October 1, 2017 the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation will participate in the MightyMan Half Iron Distance in Fort Pond, Montauk, NY as a charity partner.

Did you know that Montauk, NY is one of the birthplaces of triathlons? Montauk is a quaint fishing and surfing town on the easternmost tip of Long Island. Athletes will love this course for its natural beauty and small-town feel. This is a great family weekend to spend on the Island’s east end—at a time when the weather’s still nice, but the summer crowds are not as heavy.

HNF is looking for individual participants and relay teams for this Half IronMan. If you would like to just swim, then HNF will find people for the bike and run segments.

She was also eager to participate in a triathlon. “The training and racing aspects really appeal to me,” she explained. There was one huge problem though. Joy didn’t know how to swim. “So there I was, 39 years old, taking swimming lessons from the boy who gave my little kids lessons,” Joy laughs, but her voice changes quickly as she describes her first race.

Allyson O’Connor won’t let CMT get her down. She was unofficially diagnosed at the age of 10. Her Dad had the same symptoms, but at the time genetic tests were not available. Her diagnosis was based on an EMG. After having her two children, now age 8 and 6, she decided it was important to determine if she definitely had CMT.
