I married Superman!!!

Did you get that? I did I promise! And I have proof...for the last few months Sterling has been training (A LOT) to do a triathlon with his buddy Kurt. So much training in fact that Kurt's wife Linda and I had to create the WoTA support group, (the Wives of Triathletes Anonymous) to help each other survive. We pulled through it all no worse for the wear and the guys were AweSomE!!!

Linda, her three boys, Lil Man, Max, and I all parked our booties next to the route with our posters and snacks to cheer on our stud muffins. It was a little tricky to pick out our two guys in the sea of sweat and spandex, but we did spot them at each transition and attempted to get some pics/video as they breezed past.

First off was the swim: Sterling and Kurt were in the Novice wave of athletes so they started 20 minutes after the super-mega-live-only-for-races-Olympic-racers. They got a little nervous watching as 2 of those racers were coming into the docks before their heat began (that means swimming a full mile in under 20 minutes...are you kidding me!?!) but they were chugging down the Goo and ready and rarin' when they heard the airhorn signaling their start. Unfortunately Sterling has a habit of trash-talking and it got him into a HUGE brawl with another swimmer in his group and he ended up with a bloody nose...ok really in the swimming portion of the race it is a mass of bodies kicking and paddling for their lives and Sterling got kicked in the face about 300 meters in (3-4 minutes in, nice start eh?). But did that stop him? No way! Superman would never let a bloody nose and massive headache stop him so neither did Sterling...onward and upward to the next leg!

Biking!! This is My man's favorite. No injuries were sustained in this part of the race, but I do have to brag about what a great guy he is. The biking leg of the race is 25 miles, at around 15 miles Sterling saw a guy who had blown a tire and was WALKING, carrying his bike the last 10 miles back to the transition area. My Uber Man of a hubby not only stopped to help him, but gave him his pump and his own spare tube! A regular modern day Samaritan huh? Enough bragging by me, he's gonna get all embarrassed :)

Last was the running leg of the race. This consisted of a 10k going along country roads (watchin out for cow patties) with many, many hills. Not my idea of a good time but he loved it. Luckily they ran past us at the halfway point so we got to hold up our signs again to cheer him on and grab a high five. And then the finish line...YEah DaddY!! (see I told you I had proof! And I defy any of you to try to get a better video while holding a puppies leash that is trying to run away, ans also holding onto a 5 yr old that is trying to get away in the opposite direction)

We has so much fun with our great friends the Olssons, thanks for putting up with us guys!! The boonies just wouldn't have been the same without you...

We'll share more pics and such of other events of the trip, but for now it's all about our FanTabUlous Daddy and his dedication and perseverance! We are sooooooooooo proud of you daddy!

WE LOVE YOU!!! :)
