Ironman Louisville

2.4 mile swim
112 mile bike
26.2 mile run

…..in one day

Crazy, you may say.  I agree.  However, my husband, his sister, and his father all completed this feat nearly a month ago.  Jeff did the race in just under 12 hours.  In 96 degree weather with a heat index in the low 100s.  Even I got dehydrated.  Nuts, I tell you -- they are NUTS!  Photo highlights below:

That’s a lot of bikes.  And note that I am up before the sunrise to catch the athletes before they begin the race.  Dedication.
