IRONMAN!!

Here we are in St. George at the IRONMAN at like 6 something in the morning, to watch Brady's brother Austin, our brother-in-law Matt, and a few other family friends attempt to become an IRONMAN! This race is a 2.4 mile swim (in super cold water), a 112 mile bike (with hills), and a 26.2 mile run (a full marathon). Crazy I know!
What's even crazier was how happy Marshall was to be up that early in the cold to watch!

We were all pretty cold.. but really excited!

Here are a few of the over 2,000 athletes! That is Austin with his arm in the air! There are so many people is was hard to tell who's who!

They start the swim in the water which is just nuts!
Ready... Set...

GO!!!

They say that people will just swim right over you! Crazy!

BIKE
Here's Matt! He is yelling "HARD CORE! HARD CORE!"

Here is Austin on the last stretch of the bike! Austin's finish time was 16:16. You have 17 hours to finish! Matt's bike broke down and wasn't able to make the time for the biking! I can't believe Matt and Austin got as far as they did, both having injuries and just having surgeries! Good Job Guys! We love you!
