Stopping for a kiss


Race to the finish

All good
At stadium waiting on finish
Maybe another hour plus...

Bryan's Occupation??

Has anyone noticed under Bryan's occupation (when tracking him on Ironmanlive) it states "Gardener"
It explains tons in my life....

Bike should be done

Saw them both at mile 109 of bike
Smiles all around
Weather is overcast which is a plus, glad the rain stopped and is holding off 
Lizzy and Kristi took kids to lake to burn off some energy
Just made 3rd pot of coffee for the day
Planning to see them between 3:30-4:30p or so at mid point of run
Coach John just hopped on bike to go find them on run course and check up on them - he is amazing!
