As some of you may know, David has been training very hard to prepare for Ironman Mont Tremblant on August 19.
Generally, when you are training for a large race, you fit in a few shorter distance races to gauge your fitness level. David informed me last minute that he had registered for the Great White North Half Ironman as a training race. I will admit that I was a little bit frustrated to learn about the race so late but I was very excited to have Sydney watch her dad do something that he loves.
It was such a cold rainy day when we arrived at the race site. I knew that I would be exhausted by the end of the day. Carting around a toddler in the rain is a tough job and all Sydney wanted to do was get out and run around. It was a bad situation.
We watched the swim and made our way into town where we hid out in the car for two hours watching Elmo and eating Tim Hortons. We then made our way over to the transition zone to cheer David on. When Sydney saw him she screamed out "Daddy!" and clapped like crazy. It was so sweet to see her getting excited for him.
While he was out on the run, Sydney had a nice long nap in her Chariot while I hung out and caught up with old friends while trying to stay dry. David had a great run and Sydney was there to give him hugs at the finish line.
All in all it was a fantastic day and we were so proud of David's accomplishment.
PS.... Sydney's shirt says:
See Daddy Swim
See Daddy Bike
See Daddy Run
Go Daddy Go
