What an Iron Man!

Final Time: 16:03:51
Final Feeling: Woo Hoo!!!!!!

So sorry that I didn't post anything last night. When we finally got back to the hotel it was almost 2:00am and we all just kind of fell into bed. Someday I'll tell the story of all the events post-finish. Too much drama, but everyone is just fine now. No worries!

So, by the time Brook came to the finish line, it was after 11:00pm and getting pretty chilly in Lake Placid, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that Brook did it--he finished Iron Man Lake Placid. And he has the t-shirt and the medal to prove it! The end was quite fabulous as Max joined him for the last two miles of the run. Wow.

Here are a few photos from the run and two from just after the finish. The crowd at the line was so huge that I couldn't get a shot of him crossing the line, but we'll order one from the "official" photographer. And, we didn't take photos in the medical tent either. Nobody looks good with an IV and warming blankets, trust me...

So, this is Brook coming in from the first loop of the run:

And this is him heading out for the second loop (long sleeves added--it's getting cold!):

Iron Man!

Iron Man with his boys!
Thank you to one and all for the love, prayers, good wishes and overall support.
