IRONMAN!!!

Well it happened!  On September 7th, 2014 Mark became an Ironman!  He trained so hard and I couldn't be more proud of him!  The whole weekend was quite the adventure.

Mark did the race with our other friend Mark.  It was so nice for them to train and complete the race together.  But it was even better for me to have his family there with me!

The kids had so much fun together!

Claire and Oliver had such a great time!  I think their favorite part was staying in the hotel!

The kids even got to do their own Ironkids race.  It was so cute and the kids loved doing it!

They got super cool t-shirts.

And awesome finisher medals.

Oliver started out running with Mark but then he wanted to do the race all by himself.

Claire loved running with Katie.

The kids even got a picture with the voice of the Ironman.

The kids loved leaving messages for their Daddy and Mr. Mark.

Here is Mark right before he left for the race!

And the kids ready to support their Daddy!

It was hard to see the race start because of all of the people.  But I could at least see this.  It was breathtaking to see everyone start.

After the swim, Mark headed to get his bike and start biking!  Here is the bike transition area.  This is just some of the bikes!

 Mark did great on his bike!

The Marks met up on their bikes and rode together!

 It was a long ride.

After seeing the guys transition from the swim to the bike we let the kids take a break and go for a swim!

Then we headed over to our designated spot to see the guys come through on their bikes.

Uncle Kevin did a great job helping us keep times.

The Komosinski support crew.

This is where we saw the "M Dot" in the clouds.

We were so excited to see the guys come through!!!!

They looked great!

After we saw Mark on the bike, we headed over to see him on the run!

My father in law (Eagle Eye) helped out and directed the runners where to go!

The Komosinski Support Crew.

We should have gotten our own medals for running around all day!

And finally...the FINISH LINE!

 We were so excited to see Mark cross the finish line!!!

There he goes!

 HE DID IT!!!!!

MARK KOMOSINSKI, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!!

Once Oliver saw his Daddy and gave him a kiss, that was the end of him.

Claire was so proud of her Daddy.

My Ironman.

Mark's brother worked it out so he could see his big brother cross the finish line!

Mark's family was so proud!

Oliver was proud too ;)

It was really an amazing weekend and we were so proud of Mark.  He trained so hard and did a great job.  

CONGRATULATIONS MARK!  WE LOVE YOU!!!
