Viking Man!


This weekend we drove up to Burley Idaho for so Nate could run in the Viking man Triathlon. It was his first half iron-man and he has been training very hard the last few months to get ready for it. I was a little worried he wouldn't make it. He had been very sick the whole week before with a fever, cough and sore throat. Trey also saw fit to keep us both up most of the night before the race. The morning of the race there were some pretty intense head winds for the all of the swim and most of the bike. Entering the water there was a 33 degree wind chill. Ouch!

Even around noon while Trey and I were waiting for Nate at the transition it was very windy and pretty cold. Trey didn't like it. But he did get to give his dad a hug before he headed out for the last leg of the race.

In the end Nate swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles, and ran 13 miles. Wow!!!
