Did you know I am married to an Ironman?

It's true...he'd specify that he's only half-way there, as he just completed his first Half-Ironman this month. His ultimate goal is to complete a full Ironman, and while I'd love to see him reach that goal, I am no less proud of him regardless of the distance.

It has been quite interesting observing his developing passion towards this crazy sport of triathlons. I admire the patience, discipline, and dedication it has taken for him to learn about the sport and, in only a couple short years, have already come this far.

I admit, I occassionally get tired of the never-ending training sessions, but when raceday comes, I am so proud and happy to cheer him on and see him approach that finish line. Michael, I am so proud of you...70.3 miles on a hot, hot day in July, and you did it!! I love my Ironman.




Us pre-race (and pre-sunburn...yikes!)



Michael's wave getting ready to start...can you see him? Yeah, me neither...



Heading to transition after a really great swim



Heading out for a 56-mile bike ride

Next up: a Half-marathon (13.1 miles)

There he is! Coming in to the finish line!!
