IRONMAN!!!

We (Rusty, Frances, Thomas and I) went to Louisville this past weekend for Rusty's big race. He did a great job! Lot of training went into this (not many people could download a schedule and stick to the major training). Anyway, he did great. He went right under his goal time of 12 hours 30 minutes (he went 12 hrs 23 min). He had cramping issues in two other half ironman events, but the only problem he had this time was because he drank the sports drink they handed out (he said the last half of the marathon his stomach hurt, but his legs were fine). It was a fun event to watch. It is fun to watch the event as well as the spectators. People bring their own cheering sections (an ironman race is a large commitment and takes a lot of training and is a pretty big deal). The kids and I walked down to watch him come out of the water, jump on his bike and run some. Someone gave T a bell and dude man cheered everyone. They had a great time.


we got there really early to make sure we got a good spot (things got pretty crowded). The kids did a pretty good job walking a lot. I did figure out that they would sit together in the umbrella stroller- good times!








They even had fireworks



Dad's House


We did swing by the house my dad grew up in. Here is a picture that I snapped. It is a really cute area.
