In honor of the “Iron Baby’s” 2^nd birthday, we are going to take a look back at all the Ironman races he has been a part of!

Our family’s first “Ironman” race was the Ironman Texas 70.3 in Galveston, TX.  What an adventure that was!  The Iron Baby was in my tummy, so he did not actually get to see the race. But, he was there!

By now I feel like an old pro, but all you Ironman racers will know what I am talking about when I say the first few races are a learning experience!  Everything from the travel, to the food, to the bedtimes are different when you race!  

 One of the great things about these races is that there is often something for the kids to participate in, also.  Aaron ran in his own race and received a medal.  He kept saying “Why is it called a medal?  It’s not metal, it’s rubber!”  Luckily, he did not confirm our fears of him telling someone he got a “rubber” from his race!

 James and Aaron showing off their medal and “rubber”!  Ha! Ha!

Aaron and I were rocking our “Go Daddy Go” shirts!
