It is official....Bob is an IRONMAN. We joke about it because he completed a 1/2 Ironman (70.3 miles) so really, he is half of an Ironman (ha ha). But really, this was a HUGE accomplishment for Bob. Just 2 years ago he started to train for his very first triathlon. It seemed like such a big task back then and who knew that just 2 years later he would have completed such a big race. The 1/2 Ironman consisted of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a half marathon (13.1 mile run). He took on this race in Racine, WI and we joined him up there to cheer him on as well as our good friend Pam.
The kids were very excited because the course was right along a great beach. Who knew that such a beautiful beach with such soft sand was in Wisconsin along Lake Michigan.
Ok, back to the race. Here is Bob starting the bike after a great finish on his swim.
Pam starting the run.
Taking a break from the race to enjoy the beach again!
Marina and her family came too!
Becky and Venessa couldn't miss the race either. Don't you love the Pam signs!
Becky made some for Bob too and the kids were modeling them here.
After a long 5 hours and 52 minutes the race is over for Bob (8 minutes under his goal time). Oh, and did I mention the heat index was 100 degrees!!!!!!!
Bob's biggest fan (and biggest supporter of many months of training).
IRONMAN!
Congratulations Bob and Pam!!!
