Ike picked up the pace

Iaconelli picked up the pace a bit more in the last hour. I didn’t know that was possible.

Now he’s keeping his PFD on, rather than taking it on and off each time he starts or ends one of these quick moves.

He’s taken to holding his kill switch in his mouth like a calf roper would hold down a tie-down rope or a piggin string, as many call it.

The look suits him. Almost like a commando with a knife in his teeth.

It may be paying off. He’s finished his limit. And since this blog started getting typed we’ve seen him actually slow down a bit.
