We had the joy of hosting my cousin Wayne and his beautiful girls Ilea, Chole, and Maia this weekend. Wayne participated in the Ironman competition here in Boise. The race was 70.3 miles long (1.2 miles swimming, 56 miles biking and 13.1 miles running) and Wayne finished it in 5 hours and 47 minutes, beating his previous Ironman racing time by 4 minutes! It was so much fun watching the race and cheering on the competitors - too bad the weather wasn't that great. Here are some pictures from the weekend:
Friday night we introduced Wayne and the girls to Rock Band. Both Chloe and Maia were quite the singers and Ilea rocked it on the guitar.
Here we are waiting for Wayne at the bike to run transition:
I couldn't believe that Wayne managed a smile after biking 56 miles! On to waiting for him at the finish line:
The girls were able to jump out at the end and run with Wayne to the finish line, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture. Here are Wayne and Chloe in a post-race photo:
Way to go Wayne! I am in awe of anyone that can do a race like that.
