Okay, my Ironman swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles and then ran a marathon - 26.2 miles. He did that in 13 hours and 26 minutes. If you've never been or seen an Ironman competition, you need to go! It is thrilling, emotional, funny - it is pure entertainment. You have the professionals that push themselves to the limit, you have the regular guys that have trained for months (and can't believe they're doing this 'God-forsaken' race), you have the 'Elvis-look alike' (coiffed and dressed like the king), you have people with one leg competing, people who are blind (being guided by a volunteer), etc...
You laugh, you cry, you shout - you can't wait to see your loved one. And when you do... a flood of emotions fill you. Here are some pictures:
The swim: The professionals started (about 30 of them) and then the rest (2,600 participants - can you see my honey?)
Here's my honey, done with the bike and starting the marathon... looking goooood!
Here's my honey - first loop (13 miles, done, 13 to go!)
Second picture at first loop... still looking good!
And, I'm sorry, I didn't get a picture at the 13th hour - I was to excited and nervous! I will post that picture when I will be able to get it from the professional photograph.
Now that's what 46 years old looks like!!! Honey, I'm proud of you! When's the next one? Just kidding!!!!
