My Ironman in photos

I’m too cheap to buy photos for $29.

But I’ll copy some thumbnails and show ’em off no problem.

The swim was surprisingly hard. Not because of the distance or the wves, but because I couldn’t hold my line and added 300 meters (rough estimate) to the swim.

My wife is the best

Family, I’m just writing this little note as I sit in my hotel room in Boise after Ironman Boise.

I want you all to know how wonderful Shana is.

And she doesn’t complain.

Rather, she works solo taking care of our family and making sure everything and everyone is happy.

Shana. I love you.
