Vikingman 2009

Jeff raced in the Vikingman again this year and he did absolutely terrific!  He did the half ironman distances; swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles and ran 13.1 miles!   His time was 5 hours and 54 minutes and he did all this in wind, rain, and completely cold.  Pretty amazing if I do say so myself!  He placed 4th in his age group.  It was a lot of fun to be able to go up to Burley (Idaho) with him again this year and cheer him on!  So, my pictures are so out of order, but you get the idea, right?!

Here are Jeff and Aaron (Jeff's younger brother) after the race.  Aaron placed 1st in his age group and won a pretty cool Vikingman trophy- way to go Aaron!  



This is Trey (Nate's little boy!), Nate, Josh, Peter, Jeremy, Jeff and Aaron all together after the race!  Peter also placed 1st in his age group!!

Here is Jeff transitioning from the bike to the run - almost there!  Do you love Aaron in the background totally zoned out?!  Funny guys!



Here is Jeff nearing the finish line!  He is looking pretty strong even at this point!  What an amazing man!

Way to go Jeff! You did awesome. So glad we were able to go and be up there with you guys. And still no baby, but getting closer.

go Jeff go! Man, those Wise boys have nice butts, right?
I can't believe you can do that! That's basically exercising for almost 6 hours! You are a true VIKINGMAN!
