ironman

go boys! they all did great. it was a cold cold morning. they were in the water around 6:45 then started their 2.4 mile swim at 7. Ricky did really well on the swim. 1:09. that was his best time. which is funny because he doesn't ever swim. he has only swam 3 times since april. he did great on the bike too. 112 miles. that was his fastest pace at 19 mph. of course the 3rd loop was the not so fun, we got the get me off the bike look, but other than that he was strong. Then the first loop on the 26.2 mile run was not so fun for him but after about mile 9 he felt great. he was ready to go. his brother scott who was in front of him was cramping up and so ricky caught him and they finished the race together. they have their photos together crossing the finish line. that was cool. ricky is probably not doing any more full ironmans anytime soon. he did not sign up for next year. as of right now he is signed up for a half in april in oceanside. so fun. he LOVES the half distance. way fun he says. Scott was great until he cramped in the run. he is a cramper. he did great though. derek did awesome. he got sick a few times but finished strong and with a good time. steve was awesome to watch. he did GREAT. he did a great swim especially for him because he was afraid of the swim. his bike was great too. he totally paced himself. he didnt enjoy the run so much but he finished strong and HAPPY as ever. we are so proud of our papa rogers.
