Swim 2.4 miles/Bike 112 miles/Run 26.2 milesSt. George sponsored it's first ever Ironman Competition on Saturday! It was a great event that the whole city was looking forward to. Our family joined in the excitement and volunteered. Mike, Noah, Maddie and I worked a morning shift from 7:30-11:00 on the bike route. We were called "pointers" and were in charge of making sure no vehicle traffic entered the route. The anticipation of seeing the competitors was intense. The "timex" car led the first man. He went on to win, gaining the lead in the swim and holding that lead throughout the race. Kenzie and Gage volunteered at mile 25 on the marathon route. They were there from 6pm-11pm. Monday we were able to attend a dinner for the 4200 volunteers. We all had an awesome time helping out and look forward to next years race!

That is so cool. I heard a lot about it. Wish I could have been there!
That is awesome you got to volunteer. I bet the energy was amazing. Being a marathoner you can get a vague idea of what goes into preparing for such a feat.
What a fun family activity. I would totally do it. Your kids will remember that forever. Maybe they will even help you one day:)!
