Sunday Stroll

Well, at least that's what she made it seem to be...

Last weekend {Sunday, actually} my BFF Courtney raced and completed 70.3 miles of swimming, biking, and running... also known as a half Ironman. Yeah, I know... she's ballin'.

The four of us- Courtney, Clay, Aaron, and I- traveled over to Augusta, GA for the weekend to support Courtney. {My race isn't until October thank God} I had a rather large case of what I called "sympathetic nervousness"... I'm pretty sure I was more nervous than she was and I was just a cheerleader.

It was kind of sad that we weren't racing together- we have always raced together- but I can't tell you how many times I would look at her and say, "Thank GOD I'm not you right now!!!" It's ok though, my turn is coming!

Hey Court!

She swam 1.2 miles down the Savannah River.

And while she was swimming, I ran into Belle's Great Aunt Sally! (I just made that up)

Then she biked 56 miles...

Where's Waldo Courtney?

Then she ran a half marathon. (13.1 miles)

In the picture below, she was giving me a thumbs up... I know, it's sickening isn't it? I pray I feel half as strong as she does by this point!

She was truckin'...

She swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles, and ran 13.1 miles in 6 hrs. and 18 min. (the time clock at the finish line started an hour and a half before her age group did)

Her goal was to finish in under 7 hours. I'd say she went above and beyond what she thought she could do.

My goal... is still to finish in under 7 hours.

We are SO PROUD of our Court!!!

More details about the actual road trip to come soon!
