The big day came...we traveled to Sonoma California for the 20th annual Vineman. It was a long drive and a long day of racing. But Steve finished, which is a huge accomplishment. I'm proud of him, I haven't exactly been the most patient wife during all the training.
We got up at 4 a.m. to make our way to the Russian River. This is where the 2.4 mile swim began.
Steve with his training partner and our neighbor Bill.
Finishing the swim and getting ready to transition to the 112 mile bike ride. 
The bike ride went through all these beautiful vineyards throughout the countryside. 
After the bike it was off for a 26.2 mile run..this was the hardest part but they all made it through. Steve has huge blisters on the bottoms of his feet but he refused to give up.
He completed the race in 14 1/2 hours...needless to say it was a long day!
Congratulations...Steve, Bill and Doc! You guys are amazing!!!

WOW, what an awesome accomplishment. I think that drive is what seperates people like him from people like me. Blisters on his feet, I'd be calling the ambulance thus why I haven't ran anything besides the gunsight gallop when I was six and I ran that in 54 minutes.....sigh
Whoa...that's all I have to say!
What an accomplshment and i'm glad you have yourself an IRONMAN ha ha. Hey isn't it time for an update girl!
