Ironman 2012


The day had been set and planned for for a year.
He had trained for 52 weeks to swim 3.8kms, bike 180km and run 42kms.
Three days before the race the weather doesn't look good. Two days before the race they are calling it a "Weather bomb" like we have never seen before. One day before the race - its cancelled. We couldn't believe it.
The day of the race came and the weather was just as they said - a bomb. Roofs torn off and power cuts.
The next day they did a half iron man course so we put on all our green gear and stood out in perfect weather (can you believe it was perfect) for 6.5 hours and cheered our brother in law on. he did awesome!
And yes that is him running towards the finish line with a bucket on his head!
