After tracking the weather all week - race day was pretty darn perfect!
Here are the guys just before the race - the perfect mix of excited and nervous!
All of the athletes had to enter the water by crossing the timing mat - then tread water or float until the cannon went off - like they weren't going to exert enough energy already!
And they're off! - doesn't it remind you of salmon swimming up stream?!?
Here is Patrick on the bike at approx mile 20 --- all smiles!
With the colder weather, we needed to make some last minute sleeves the night before.
My family knows I tend to be good at cutting things to make new things in a pinch
(not the 2nd step of sewing/hemming, just the cutting part!)
We were resourceful and Patrick was toasty - ask him about it!
Here is Dusty on the bike in Mt. Horeb - looking strong, even on the big hills!
Derek and Patrick found each other on the run and passed Camp Randall together at mile 3.
Their race gear really looked sharp!
And here is Patrick coming into the finish. You can see he is on the right side of the cones - the left lane is the turn around for mile 13 - brutal that you get THAT CLOSE to the finish line and have to circle back for the 2nd half of the marathon!
