iron woman

our friend gretty did the seemingly impossible last sunday.
she completed her second iron man race. that means that she swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and then ran 26.2 miles, all in one day.

here she looks positively radiant after completing the bike portion of the race and starts the marathon off with some high fives.


gretty's crew show their support with yellow t-shirts. apparently molly accidentally ordered a size youth small, which makes her yellow t-shirt very adorable, but also makes the writing very hard to read.

gretty was still smiling after mile 13 of the run.

matt, the consummate cheerleader, brought joy to runners with a sound system pumping out some eye of the tiger and chariots of fire.


we feel like these guys really exhibit the same kind of enthusiastic spirit exhibited by matt for both the eye of the tiger and elite endurance athletes.



good job to all the athletes, including tim, jon, and richard! you guys rule.
we had a lot of fun watching.

That's a great accomplishment!

I loved the video, where did you find it? I just want to know ... does he KNOW the words to the song? It's like really horrible karyoke, probably the most hilarious when you're drunk.
