Carl completed his Half-Ironman triathlon this past weekend! What an accomplishment! It was a 1.2mile swim, 58 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run!! WHEW!! Makes you exhausted just to read it, doesn't it? He did a fabulous job, and made it through alive! Praise God and good job Carl! There are quite a few pictures below, as I thought such an accomplishment deserved plenty of them. ; ) I must apologize about the quality, though...I forgot the digital camera, so had to use a one-time use camera.
Daddy and Will around 6am prior to the start of the race.
The swim route was FAR, around the orange buoy's in this lake...you may be able to see them if you look closely behind the larger green buoy.

Great job Carl!!! Whew.... That is awesome!
Wow~!! What an amazing accomplishment! The photos are great! Thanks for sharing them... he must feel so accomplished to have completed something like that. I can only imagine!
That swim looks so much more intimidating than just swimming laps in the pool. Congrats Carl. What is up for your next big race? Or is it time to focus more on school?
i wish i was in such shape! man that's amazing! way to go!
