My brother, Brian, started training in January for the Mini Ironman Triathalon. Everytime we talked to him, looked on facebook or tried to get in touch with him he was in training or working out, swimming, biking, or running! He has been so dedicated and had his goal at the forefront!!! His body completely changed....transformed into a lean muscle machine!!! It was unreal!
Mom, Lily, Cade and I drove up the night before and stayed with he and Jessica so we could get up and caravan to watch the ending of the race together. He on the other hand woke up at 4:30 in the morning, cooked himself breakfast and drove to the race, checked his bike in promptly at 5:30 and waited for the swimming to begin!
We got there in time to see him finish his bike ride, and begin the run! (I was not "Mommy Paparazzi" this day...I was "Proud Big Sister Paparazzi!") We anxiously waited, let the kiddos play at the little playground and finally saw him start to appear! I ran out , my proud paparazzi self, and snapped pics of him running through the finish line! It was soooo exciting!!
Brian recovered from bronchitis the week before the race, set his eye on his goal and finished his race!!! An inspiration to all of us :)
He was pretty emotional about his finish! It was a BIG accomplishment, lots of training and dedication!!!
GO BRIAN !!!! PROUD OF YOU, LITTLE MAN!!!!
