Daddy's Ironman Race

Allen has had his heart set on completing an Ironman Race for quite some time.  And, if Allen puts his mind to something, no doubt it WILL happen.  So we loaded up the troops and headed to Lawrence, Kansas to cheer him on!
The gang was all ready for the drive!

Stocking up on Ironman swag.
We had to wake everyone up at 3:30 in the morning to make it to the race in time for Allen to get all checked in.
Transition #1

Obviously the baby was less than thrilled about being up so early.

All racers have to wear a tattoo with their number.

Braedyn was so excited to cheer on Daddy!

Coming out of the water

Getting ready for the bike

About to hop on his bike!

Pushing through the run!

Braxtyn was catching up on those zzzz's he missed!

Crossing the finish line...like a BOSS!

Our Ironman!
We could not be any prouder of Daddy! 70.3 miles!!!!
