time to refuel

Heidi's cousin, Sean, completed his first Ironman Triathlon on Sunday! This is a huge accomplishment since it involves swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and then running a marathon (26.2 miles)! As if that weren't enough, he got in his car the next day and started his drive from Idaho to his home in Arkansas (thinking about the drive alone makes me tired!!)

We were happy to have him spend the night with us last night and enjoyed hearing all about the race over a dinner of fish tacos and homemade ice cream.

Some of you have asked about Mike's race on Saturday. He also completed a triathlon, but it turned out to be very memorable in an less than ideal way. Just before Mike's event started, a participant in another event drowned. Needless to say, no one was feeling very competitive after that and I was glad to have Mike home safe and sound!
