I am married to an Iron Man! I keep telling every person I run into and talk to...they must think I am a little crazy! BUT this is a BIG deal...they must see that right?!!

We spent the weekend up at Lake Stevens- so that Devin could complete his first 1/2 Iron Man. It consisted of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. He finished in 5 hours 51 minutes- under his goal time of 6 hours. He ROCKED! This was only his 4th triathlon- the longest by far! What an incredible accomplishment. I am SO SO SO SO SO proud of him.

Devin's parents came over to help support him and help me watch the boys so that I could get some pics of his amazing journey.

The swim start- hard to believe that there were about 200 in this group!
|
It was hard to get good pics of Dev- because of how the race was set up

SO happy that daddy is done- AND he gets to wear the medal!
And that's the end...
I cannot put into words how proud I am of my hubby. He accomplished a goal that 10 months ago he set. He said, "I am going to teach myself how to swim and do a 1/2 Iron Man in under 6 hours." What a job well done. AMAZING!!! I hope that you can see through these pictures his journey. Truly a remarkable journey, accomplishment, and man.
