My amazing husband

Let me start this post by saying how awesome God is. We had planned to drive down to Austin with bike in tote, but somehow brilliantly the thought crossed my mind to let Paul take Josh's bike on the back of his car (their rack is much more sturdy and reliable than ours). Ironically enough, we got rear ended on the way down to Austin. The damage is pretty good to our car, and here is the damage to his car...he couldn't drive away - his airbag went off. Everyone was fine and no one was too sore the next day..

We went to pick up the race packet on Saturday and they had some activities for the kids. Mostly a place where they could make signs to hold up during the race. Keira was happy to suck her fingers....

Chloe and Caleb loved drawing pictures

Here we are at the condo after a huge carbolicious dinner making signs (which we forgot and never got to use, but still, the thought was there, right?)

Sunday morning ready to go!

See Josh there in the water? This was over 1 hour after the first wave of swimmers started. This was the men 30-35 L-Z wave....There were over 2,400 people in this race.

Here is Josh after the swim running to the transition area.....we won't see him again until after the bike about 3 hours later...

Here we are at Sonic eating lunch while Josh and Paul are riding 56 miles...

Here he is starting his 13.1 mile run, he looks a little too happy doesn't he?

We were able to see Josh and Paul a couple times in the run, so that was nice. They had a jump house for the kids, snow cones, a portable video game truck (Caleb was all over this), and of course concession stands...

After the race, they both did GREAT. Paul finished about 9 minutes before Josh. I was super proud of Josh for training as hard as he did and completing the race.
