Utah Half Ironman

I am so proud of James, he finished his first half ironman race! This is a huge accomplishment and one he has been training for since March. The half ironman consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run to finish it off. Pretty crazy huh? He finished in 6 hours 25 minutes. His swim and bike he did phenomenal and then got some stomach cramps during the run which slowed him down. He was a little disappointed with his run but finished it out strong!

We were waiting at the finish line of course and Carter ran with him across the finish. We are so proud of him and all that he has accomplished this past year.
