For Father's Day this year, both Bret and Don did something entirely different. Bret did an Ironman 70.3 Event in Boulder, and Don was there as part of his support staff. It was definitely a much more tiring day for Bret than it was for Don!
Bret looks happy before the 1.2 mile swim in Boulder Reservoir.
And he was still smiling after doing the swim and biking 56 miles in the foothills around Boulder.
We waited for him as he started out on the run, which was 13.1 miles, equal to running a half marathon.
Tatum and I had worked on the signs the day before. Ella was short and succinct: Run Fast!
Bret gave Don a high five (or something similar) as he passed us by. Later he said he put too much peanut butter on the sandwich and not enough jelly. Hard to chew when you have no water with you!
He still had enough energy to smile after doing the 70.3 miles.
Time to put some ice cubes down your back and lay down on the grass. Nate also took advantage of the shade after the race was over with.
I can't even imagine undertaking the Iron Man or Iron Woman stuff...ugh..I'm tired just looking at Bret!!
