IRONKID!

Every year, our area hosts one of the IRONMAN triathlons.  While we've volunteered and cheered in the past, we've not participated (because really...I am in no way up for an IRONMAN.  Half marathons, sure.  Maybe a sprint tri.  But not an IRONMAN.)  But you know who is up for one?  Little Buddy!

This year was the first year our IRONMAN location offered the IRONKIDS one mile race.  After the success of Run Club last year and our desire to keep Little Buddy as active and strong and possible, we decided to sign him up.  I mean, I'm pretty sure our little hero is the definition of an IRONKID!

Ready to run with Daddy!

C'mon Daddy, let's go!

Ready for the start!  However, I am not ready for how old he looks in this picture!

     

I didn't get a lot of pictures of him on the course since I was so busy cheering, but here he is coming into the finish!  We got a lot of great footage off of the GoPro camera too!

     

Our IRONKID with his awesome medal!  So proud of him!

He ran a great race!  Daddy had to re-motivate him a few times, but he definitely had fun and felt proud of himself.  It means a lot to us to see him active and running, and to have Mimi, Pop-Pop, Aunt S, Uncle M, and Baby L there cheering him on.  We hope that he has a lot of races in his future!

"Little Buddy, you just became an IRONKID!  What do you want to do next?"

"Go to Chuy's!"

No surprise there!  A great end to a fun morning!

Good night, 

LBM
