Tanner's half Ironman 70.3 miles

The night before the big day you always have your ironman meeting. Here's a few of the goodies that you get.
When you have a wonderful wife she knows that the meal you eat the night before is very important for your performance. Aly fixed baked salmon, with pineapple sauce, brown rice, fresh green beans, green salad, with honey rolls. Yummm! Ken and I were smart. We spent the night and ate well.
Tanner's I.D.
I'm not a runner,,,But,, Tanner is trimming the long hair on his legs????
Wet suit for swimming, 1.2 miles, helmet for biking 56.0 miles, shoes for running 13.1 miles.

It was a fun weekend. Thanks for taking such great pictures, but I must say it was actually 5 hours and 24 minutes not 5 hours and 25 minutes.
