Final Approach
I would like to take this opportunity to brag on my amazing wife, Rachel. Today she competed in and COMPLETED her first ever triathlon!
She and her sister decided earlier this year that they would compete in the annual Hy-Vee Triathlon here in Des Moines, Iowa. They hit the water this morning at 6:25. A little over 4.5 hrs later and after a 1 mile swim, 24 mile bike ride and 6 mile run, she crossed the finish line to meet her VERY proud husband!
She didn't set any world speed records, but she FINISHED the course which is more than can be said for many of the 1700+ people that started the course. Heck, a lot of them didn't even make it through the swim portion. My brother-in-law and I biked 15 miles into downtown to watch from the sidelines, and that simple ride kicked my butt, so I can only imagine what it would be like to complete such a journey as she did. Just another testament to her strong will and determination, which I'm sure will come in handy in our future journeys in life together.
Anywho... I just wanted to take a chance to brag on my beautimous wife.
