All Fears Aside... Go For the Gold!!!

This blog is totally devoted to bragging rights on and about my husband who asbolutely deserves it.  He broke all boundaries, scored the score and came out a winner!  First back to the beginning of all this, after a health scare 2 years ago he has shed 95 lbs, adapted a very healthy lifestyle including diet and a huge chunk of that is exercise.     Six months ago the idea of participating in a triathlon turned on a light bulb in my hubby's mind and he decided to make it a reality.  This included swimming 1/2 mile, biking 18 miles and running 3.2 miles.  This took place last weekend in Columbus, Ohio (June 12).  All fears aside, my hubby was pumped up for this like a pro...he was in the oldest age group (designated by a purple swimming cap).  It's 7:45am, his group is in the water, the gun shoots and they are all off and swimming...oh what a glorious sight!!!    Well,  he did the swim, did the bike ride and run  and 2 hours later as he crossed the finish line the look of accomplishment across his face was worth a thousand words.  They had drinks and snacks waiting for the athletes and the biggest thrill of all is the medal they put around your neck...so cool!!!    The dream of dreams was thought of, executed and still reliving the joy of the day in our minds.  Any thing is attainable if you set your mind to it.  And as I saw my hubby revel in his pride and joy of his first triathlon, I know that this is just the beginning for him.  His goals and visions set for himself now will be limitless and yes...he has only just begun!!!
