Half Ironman Boulder, CO 2013

August 5th of 2013 Andrew did his first Half Ironman.  It was a beautiful setting, but a grueling race.  Andrew's strongest events are the swim and the bike.  Except for getting stung by a bee during the bike ride everything seemed to go pretty well.  The run was painful, but he finished. I am so proud of him for accomplishing this goal!
 



Henry was a trooper the entire time.  He didn't complain/cry when we were out early in the cold weather and he didn't seem to mind when the weather heated up.


Andrew is coming out of the water from a great swim.
 
 Taking off on the bike.
 
 
 Henry definitely stayed hydrated and made some new friends along the way.

He finished in just over 7 hours!
