The day before the race Bill went to go check out the course.... soon to be IRONMAN!
All spectators got the opportunity to make a sign for the person they were cheering for and I couldn't resist! :) Go Bill!
The day before the big day, Bill got in a warm-up swim ...
and took a spin on the bike to check out sections of the course.
Race Day morning... It is was hard to find Bill among the spectators and the over 2,000 athletes, but as he headed to the starting line -he walked right by me, startled me and I snapped this shot right before he jumped in for the swim... Ironman in the making! GO BILL!
Out of the water and running to the bike transition...
On the bike and out for his 112 mile ride...
Zoooom... he had an incredible ride and this is a shot I got as he was coming back into transition from the bike. Fast! Go Bill!
On the marathon run... it made me tired just watching... these are just some amazing athletes.
I saw this sign posted all along the Ironman race course and although it was meant for oncoming traffic, I just thought it was too ironic for the Ironman althetes... NO stopping Sunday! Keep Running! 
11:29:33 later, Bill crossed the finish line... yea, this is when my eyes filled with tears. I was just so proud of him.
My Ironman! Congratulations again, Love... I am so proud of you!

I got teary reading through this...can you only imagine how much of a mess I would have been if I had been watching!? BILL--what an enormous accomplishment. You must feel so happy and proud. I am really excited for you. And, KATE--your pictures are awesome. It was so fun to be able to see what you were able to capture. I just loved it all...thanks for sharing!!
Wow! Kate! You did an amazing job capturing this spectacular event. I loved the photos showing all staging of the event...from pre-race - race - and post race. I wish I could have been there to cheer him on but these photos did the event justice!
