IronMan

Sunday Eric competed in his first IronMan event. It was in Augusta. It was a half IronMan which is a 70.3 He swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles and ran 13.1 miles! He had been training for this for almost a year. Eric started doing sprint triathlons last summer and quickly caught the bug for this sport. He set his sights on competing in Augusta and has been on a rigorous training schedule so he'd be ready for this race. We went up to Augusta on Friday night so all day Saturday he could eat well and prepare for Sunday morning. We took Kate with us and she was quite a trooper watching the race and cheering on her daddy. We are so proud of Eric for finishing and conquering his goal. Now maybe he'll sit still for a while...doubtful....
