Iron Man John

My brother is a SERIOUS rock star. He totally spanked the St George Iron Man. He swam, biked 56 miles, ran 13.1 miles all in less than 8 1/2 hours and lived to tell the tale. He was so inspiring. Iron Man races are not for the weak...in any way...You have to be tuff as nails physically but also super tuff mentally. The race really tests a persons grit.
The Fergusons and Thompsons came and we all got to cheer him on at his bike to run transition and the end of the run. The kids had a great time making signs and yelling really loud and jumping up and down...The race just happened to be on the hottest day of the year so far which was kind of a bummer in the hydration department but John finished strong. It was seriously such an awesome thing to see him running across the finish line.
After the race we whisked john home and into the pool for a swimbq (the kids word for swimming and barbeque). John relaxed in the water and Brent grilled a big old man sized steak. John really did recover very quickly and the kids now have a new idea of what an iron man is....and that is a great thing!
