The Ironman

Okay, we're just a month behind now....

BJ did the Louisville, KY Ironman August 26. The pictures below were taken the day of the race. I must take a moment to brag on my husband a bit. We are very, very proud of him for achieving his goal of completing an Ironman (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a marathon - 26.2 mile run--all back to back), quite a feat. He raced from 7:15 am until 9:15 pm.

Yes, it was dark when we arrived at the race site that morning. As you can see, BJ was ready to go.
Makayla on the other hand was ready for her morning nap by 7:00 am, not surprising considering we had to wake her up at 4:45 that morning.

Here is a pic of BJ beginning the run, the last discipline of the race.

And Makayla cheering him on. She loves to clap, and she got caught up with all the excitement of the race, clapping for just about everyone.
(Yes, her shirt says "Go Papa!")
BJ carried Makayla across the finish line, but I don't have an electronic photo to post.
