70.3

on september 9th the iron man 70.3 world championship was held in henderson.

robbie qualified earlier in the year
and so did our iron men friends jeff and zane and ken.

so we all cruised on down and spent a {super hot} weekend at the henderson house.

my little pilot in training.

charlie and sammy {the pseudo big brother}

crowie. he's kind of a big deal in the tri world.
{5 time world champion} 

team ogio. 

bucky and bobby. iron man bff's forever.

post race mexican meal. papa told them it was the little guy's birthday
now every time dessert comes after dinner charlie thinks it's his birthday.
we love dessert = charlie has lots of birthdays.

it's was a very busy, very fun, very hot weekend.
this about sums it up.

side note: there are no pictures of the boys finishing the race nor of us being at the race due to the fact that i spent the last part of the race lying on my back with a stranger holding up my feet, another stranger holding my head, icing my shoulders, 75 additional strangers hovering over me with expressions of deep concern, and a crying charlie sitting next to me as i came to from passing out. there's maybe nothing more embarrassing than passing out from standing in the extreme heat while right next to you 1700 athletes are pushing the limits of physical endurance for more than 5 hours straight in the extreme heat. not my best moment. but my lover on the other hand was amazing and super fast as usual and even in the heat and my little man was a champ.
these boys of mine... they're good ones!
