IRONMAN 2008!!


We had so much fun this year!! We took our 4-runner on the 13 hour drive and arrived in Coeur d'Alene on Wednesday morning. We spent the 4 days before the race visiting friends (Aggens), going to movies, swimming in the pool 4-5 times a day (no kidding), hanging with family and preparing for the race. No back problems this year, no crashes! The kids did a one mile race called the Ironkids. We brought Skippy who was a hit! John did awesome and recovered amazingly fast. We are all so proud of him! The day after he promised that he'd never do this race again... We all know what that means. Now, a week later, he's got his plans for next year! My favorite quote:
"IRONMAN is every person, trying to find out what he can do: Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112 miles, Run 26.2 miles... BRAG the rest of your life."
John, thank you for being such a motivation to me and the kids! You truly are our superhero!
