Adam is entered in the Ironman race at Whistler in British Columbia and our whole family is following on TV,I pad and those new phones that do everything. He did well in the swim and we all cheered as his girl friend took a picture of him coming out of the surf. He kind of disappeared during the 180 km bike ride but the race officials posted a time every 30 or so kms.
It was so exciting to see him in place800 out of 1900. He is a good swimmer. The road race was up and down hills in the mountains of Whistler and he lost time. The phone lines were busy as we phoned and talked about the information we already had but it was nervous energy.
Adam is now running a 42 km race which is a marathon and we all pray he will have the energy to finish. We are all into this to the point that you would think we were running and doing the hard stuff. We will not know the final results for three or four hours but we will not rest until we see he is OK and finished the great challenge of becoming an IRONMAN.
