Part of the RX for unwinding included a little 5-day trip down to Panama City Beach, FL in the first weekend of November. We went down to cheer on Linae to her IRONMAN glory! There were some *rumors* that I was going to sign up for IMFL 2008 but my right shoulder is currently in rehab so that rumor never came to pass...for this Ironman race, anyway....
Here are some pictures! I hope you can enjoy them as much as Jim and I enjoyed the mini-vacation! Spectating a full IRONMAN race is a long day but definately worth it! The inspiration you come away with could last you the entire cold, dreary winter (at least that is what we are hoping!)
Once again a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS TO Linae for ROCKING her first IRONMAN in a finish of 14:19:15!! We were thrilled to witness your TRIUMPH in person!
