This last weekend Doug and I travelled to Oceanside, CA where Doug participated in his first half Ironman. Doug has done other traithalons in the past, but this was his first swim, bike, run at this distance. He had trained hard and had been anticipating this race for a long time. It was so neat to be able to witness all the hard work and training pay off.
Early in the morning, making our way to the transition area to set up.
Doug's wave started at 7:03 am.
Swim Time: 36:20
Bike Time: 2:46:47
Run time: 2:13:28
Finishing: 5:48:47

Now that is what I call WORK!!!
Thanks for the beautiful cards you made for me - they are wonderful!
oh my heck! amazing... congrats to you Doug. xox
Wow! That is SO awesome! The pictures you took are great! Amazing.
This is a great example of "work". And I applaud you on the pics. It all goes so fast and I know how hard it is. My husband did a sprint tri last summer and I struggled to get pics. He's scheduled for an olympic triathlon this June. Maybe I'll get better pics this time, as the events are longer. Good job.
Way to go Doug! You have always been such a good example of hard work and determination.
I am kindof blog stalking right now but that is quite an accomplishment. What a great way to document how awesome he did. Man.... a half ironman is NEVER in my future. I am sticking with the sprint triathlons! Ha.
Your family is gorgeous. Congrats on having such a fun family!!!!!
OH, and the pictures captured every moment perfectly. Way to go!
What does a guy need to do to get copies of some of those amazing pictures?
Particularly the last one. Can you e-mail me a higher-resolution image?
We're glad you were there.
Wow Doug, you are amazing! We are so proud of you and have no doubt that Boise will go great! Good Luck, The Coffey's!
Wow I feel sick just looking at the pictures! I had no idea that doug really was an ironman! I guess I should get myself to walk on the treadmill.
