Spudman, 2011

One of Adam's goals for the year was to compete in the annual triathlon that takes place in our town. It's called the Spudman, and people come from all over the world to run in it. He trained hard: borrowing a bike and going for long rides, running on our treadmill and outside, and also swimming in the pool and river.
An Olympic triathlon consists of swimming a mile, biking 26 miles and then running 6 miles.
He was one tired guy when he finished, but he came in under his goal of three hours so he was pretty happy.
And because he's an ironman, he came home from the event, showered, and then went to work for the rest of the day.
