Half Ironman - SOMA

Yesterday Mark completed his final race before AZ Ironman.  70.3 miles.....1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.   He did it in 5hrs 18min.  He was happy with his time.  We are so proud of him!  4 weeks until the full Ironman.....140.6 miles on November 20.  Can't believe it's almost here.  

 6am at the lake.....our kids are troopers. 
Roll out of bed without complaining before the sun is up to cheer on dad! 
 Transition view from bridge.
 Wave swim starts based on age.  Mark is in lime green cap.
 Great view from bridge.
 Out of the lake and on to the bike.
 Tight turn!
 Finishing it off with an easy half marathon!
 Team Brodnik base camp.
Final leg to the finish line.  It was hot.
