The Eurekan!

A couple of weeks ago Allen completed The Eurekan Multi-Sport Race in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  The first day he had to do a triathlon...

Here he is waiting to go in the water for the swim.
The second day was a 100 mile bike ride through the mountains--lucky his good friend Mike did that leg with him.

Out on the road.
After they finished!
The third and final day Allen did a 10K run through the mountains and into downtown Eureka Springs.  While we hadn't made it to cheer him on the first two days, he had a cheering section for this race!
Before the race.
Cheering on Daddy.
Pushing through the pain!
He did it!
 I could not be more proud of my husband.  After all he went through this past year, he never stopped training, determined to get right back into his regular training routine once his treatments were complete.  As Braedyn would say, "Go Ironman, Go!"
