Ironman 70.3 Boulder

Hi Everyone! We went to Boulder this past weekend for John's 1/2 Ironman. That's a 1.2mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. The heat ate his lunch, and for as much of a family man as John is, I believe the stress from making this a "family vacation" reared it's ugly head. Did I mention it was HOT??? Sarah's little body could not handle spending all day in the heat and she came home and spent the next 2 days laid out from a fever that topped out at 105. Or perhaps it was something she caught at the pit stop from HELL on the way there. There was a line for the bathroom and we heard a little voice from within saying....."Daddy, I have diarrhea!" Gross.

So glad THAT's over with!!!

Still smiling after the swim. Boulder Reservoir is beautiful and the girls loved playing in the sand while John was racing.

Only in Boulder....


Hey Mom - that lady, who clearly has no children OR common sense, just gave us cowbells!!!



Oh, I see I'll be swimming DIRECTLY into the sun again this year.


How long is this thing gonna take?
