Half Ironman

Mark and I both participated in a Half Ironman this past weekend in Augusta...but we only did a 1/3 of the half!  Does anyone know the math on that?  I did the swimming, Ki did the biking and Mark did the run.  We created another team at the last minute...Noelle did the swim and the run and David did the bike. 

We had a fantastic time getting to hang out with two of our favorite families.  These two families love the Lord and aren't afraid to walk the talk and challenge us in the process!  They also love their families and are some of the most giving and gracious folks that we know!  It was a joy to spend the weekend with them and their children and get to compete!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

Hello early morning!

 

My first wet suit...I felt like a whale (in the most fit way - of course)!  :-)

There are no words to describe the athlete that Ki is!!  She is not only in really great physical shape but mentally she cannot be matched!  She "trained" at a 16-18mile/hour pace and then raced at a 20.2 mile/hour pace.  She is amazing!  I think that is another reason that I love Ki and Noelle so much - they are super competitive!

 

Our runners patiently waiting their turn!

 

The cutest cheerleaders of all! 

We had a great time!  I can't wait to do another one soon...sadly it will probably be next season.  :-)
