A freakin Ironman!

Jason, my older bro, did The Vineman Ironman on July 31st. We flew out to Napa Valley CA to see if it truly could be done. Just about the whole family came. We played games, ate great food, sat by the pool, shopped, and laughed a lot. Jason was a real stud. I am trying to put together a video of the event (but no one is cooperating and sending me the video or pics they took) so it is taking a little while.
Jason rented this vineyard house with a pool and we all relaxed while he exercised for 13 hours straight! He finished in 13:05, which is pretty good for a first ironman, plus he got a flat. Lets be honest, I'm amazed anyone finishes. The race went right by the house so we could walk down and cheer him on. So my hat is off to anyone who can swim over two miles, bike over a hundred miles, and then finish that off with a short 26 mile run. Congrats Jason!
