Anthem Triathlon

Dan (Dan-o) and Bruce (Juice) trained all summer for the Anthem Triathlon. Race day was September 4, 2010.
Julianne and I left Goodyear at 5:45 so we could get to the race to cheer the men on. We were there for the running, but I didn't have my camera (just my phone which wasn't much of a pic). Here we are waiting on a grassy knoll awaiting our soon to be bikers.
In the distance you see Dan coming in to get on his bike.

Some runners grabbed their bikes and kept going. Dan was struggling so he had a little water break before continuing on.


Dan did see us here, but he was clearly in the zone.

Bruce did not see us here and was clearly in his own zone.

After the bike ride, the racers came to the pool.

I put this in so you can see what madness was going on in the pool

Macey holding on to the barrier. Ryan was pouting the whole morning. Imagine, a day that wasn't about Ryan...

Here is Dan at the finish. He never did tell me what his results were, but let's just say he finished and that is an accomplishment!
Here are two buddies that have done something hard together.

Dan had to work very hard to meet this goal. Afterwards he said he would never do that again, but maybe with time he'll agree to do it again. We are proud of him and can you believe how healthy he looks? He is my skinny husband!
