Had a great time doing the 1.2 ironman this past Saturday! AManda flew in to cheer me on and took all these great pics...mom came too and as usual my kids and john were there to motivate me to finish strong at the last race of the year! They came to all 7 of my races in 2009!!! Love you guys! Final time: 5hrs 37min for 1.2 mile swim, 56mile bike and 13.1 mile run!!! :)
6AM morning of race (40 deg outside) Burrrr!
3 different bag of transition gear to pack and prepare for!! Before race/Post race bag, after swim/bike clothes/food, and after bike/run clothes!!
got my name on my shirt for spectators to cheer me on in the run!
Me waving to Amanda and John at a dock on the swim!
Running to transition after finishing swim, wetsuit in hand, but running the 400yards to my bike barefoot and wet was not fun! Still smiling though!! 1 down two to go!
Heading out after changing into bike shirt for 56 miles (or 3 hrs) of riding!
Kids and mom stationed at summer rest to cheer me on while i pass by on the bike!
Amanda and John drove beside me for a while on highway 421 :)
After finishing the bike, here i am coming into downtown wilmington (mile 3 of 13) and getting ready to see kids/family!
Stopping to hug and kiss kids! :)
Me still running in park--family followed me again in car! Still smiling!
John cheering me on while driving! Great pic Atm!!
