The Woodlands' Michael Collins Draws His Lucky Seven At Ironman Arizona

          Make that 14.
          Ironman Arizona 2010 is in the books and all but three of the previous 17 legacy Ironman Arizona finishers completed Sunday's race.
          Scottsdale, Arizona's Jeff Bassett, Tempe's Walter Klass and Anthem, Arizona's Rick Hall were all "Do Not Starts".
          Posting his tenth career Ironman finish, The Woodlands' Michael Collins, 38, was one of 14 Ironmen who completed their seventh Ironman Arizona.
          His 11-hour, 10-minute and 22-second finish moves the former adventure racer into sole possession of second place on the all-time Woodlands MultiSport career Ironman finishes.
          The Woodlands' Jim Braden and Spring's Eric Fontaine share the top of the leaderboard with 11 career iron distance finishes.
          Collins will look to tie Braden and Fontaine next June at Ironman Coeur D'Alene.
