You are an IRONMAN! And one of you are going to KONA!!!

This weekend, my brother-in-law and father-in-law did an Ironman!  They traveled from Iowa all the way to Louisville, Kentucky to compete and finish!  Jason and I stayed back in Iowa because I had to be around for cheerleading and work.  We were thinking of Dick and Justin the whole time though!  They had a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run....whew!  Makes me tired just thinking about it!  We got to see Justin cross the finish line LIVE!  The site that we were tracking them with got hacked by cyberattackers, so we didn't get to see Dick finish.  They did soooo good and we are all so proud of them both!!
Dick and Justin right after Dick crossed the finish line!

Dick did it!! Yay!!  Finished in 16 hours and 24 minutes!

Here is a great picture of Kathy, Dick, and Justin!
Justin completed the entire Ironman in 10 hours and 8 minutes!  He got second place in his age group and qualified for KONA!  Ironman Kona, Hawaii is considered a very honored and prestigious event that few will ever experience!  Way to go Justin!

Danna, thank you for taking these pictures!  You captured some great memories :)
Way to go Justin and Dick!!
