Ironman 70.3

Matthew competed in Ironman 70.3 in Racine, Wisconsin this past weekend.
The race consisted of a 1.2 mile swim along North Beach in Lake Michigan, followed by a 56 mile bike course through the countryside of Racine County, and then a half marathon 13.1 mile run through the Racine Zoo and along the Lake Michigan coastline.
Our good friend Travis and his brother also competed.

All the kids were there to cheer for Daddy (but mostly to play in the sand).

Bike 2:39:21

Finish 5:32:28
Division Rank 76
Overall Rank 409 (out of 2227 total)
