Ironman Austin

We decided not to take the girls to Austin for the Ironman. While they are awesome triathlon cheerleaders we thought that the idea of the drive there and back plus a longer race then they were used to might be a bit much to ask. So we the girls spent the weekend with Granny, Aunt Kathy & Uncle Robert and we headed to Austin on Saturday morning (Oct. 22). We drove straight over to the Ironman Village to get him checked in and walk around a bit. We met up with Delia & Jason who so nicely also drove in for the race to support Scott. We appreciated it so much, especially since it was their anniversary! That day we just hung out a bit, drank a bit and had a nice dinner. We headed back to the hotel and an embarrassingly early time and we headed to bed. Scott headed out early and we headed out a bit later to meet up with him. The whole Ironman experience was quite crazy and had an energy I've never felt before. Especially watching people come in at the finish line. They ranged from collapsing, to doing somersaults. The smiles were endless though. Here are the few pics I got:

And here are all of the professional pics (in random order):

 

 

We are so proud of our Ironman!
