Danna goes 70.3!

We have another half ironman finisher in the family! Today Danna finished her first Ironman 70.3 in Boulder, Colorado. She finished in an amazing 5:57! That is a killer time for any half ironman and she did it on her first race. It was so exciting. Such a great day. Every time we saw her she was smiling. She had a great race, a great day, and now she has her sites set on the full ironman next May. Pops scored a media pass and, as usual, took tons of amazing pictures. I went out on the course and got some video, but she passes by so fast that they are just short clips.

Danna has a week of playing mom with Soren, Wyatt and Ashton, but promises to post her race report soon.

Congratulations, Danna. You did it!

Danna was up at 3:30 a.m. and we were at the race site just before 5. It was a beautiful morning!

It's not a race without Pops!
