Irondad

The long awaited 2nd Saturday in November finally arrived.  The day our family had focused, concentrated, trained, and sacrificed for…….

Daddy Buck was to race the River Roux 70.3

We watched over the water until he resurfaced

44 minutes -- on to T1

He :biked: for 56 miles

We cheered up and down the streets until he reappeared

3 hours and 12 minutes -- on to T2

IMG_0502

He :ran: for 13.1 miles

That’s 70.3 miles in 6 hours and 29 minutes,

beating his self-imposed first time goal of 6 hours and 30 minutes

This has to be what total exhaustion and spent looks like….

To us, he’s Irondad!
