We got down to the park about 7am on Sunday and the guys were ready to go! Patrick and Duty both were wearing Pain Cave gear from their friend Jake Mueller - I belive all three of the guys will be sporting the gear come September.
It is pretty sharp!
Here is Patrick getting his numbers and wave information inked on with a Sharpie.
#328!
Anne and Duty (and Harper) pre race.
Andy and Heidi were also up in DC with their family for the race.
They had five people racing in their group - what a challenge for their fan base!
And here are the guys going into the water for the start of their race. They were in wave #7. There were over 1,000 people in the race on Sunday --- crazy to think that will be doubled in September and that they will all start at one time!
And they're off --- 1.2 mile swim.
Here is Patrick coming out of the water and getting help with his wetsuit.
Derek on the bike - we liked his red, white and blue helmet, helped to find him on the course!
This is mile 22 (of 56 total) for the bike. You can see Dusty's parents with their posters (and Harper). Our group did our best to divide and conquer the route so the guys would see us as much as possible. At this particular point, we were all in one spot - it was an out and back loop so we could see everyone twice at mile 22 and 33.
Here is Patrick at mile 47 - that new bike was working well for him and looks so good!
Here is Patrick on the run going through Egg Harbor - still all smiles :)
Dusty on the run - aren't the uniforms great?!?
And here is Patrick in the home stretch. He shaved of almost 30 minutes from his time in Racine last year! Awesome!
And the reward for finishing?!? A nice shiny medal and a seat in an ice bath!
