Day 73

*Warning - this post is going to be picture and mush heavy*

Troy completed in the Onion Man Triathlon today and he came out the gate a powerhouse.

Troy is wearing sleeveless wet suit with yellow around the sleeve. 

He had a swim that was nothing short of amazing. His time for a 1500 meters was 18.05. In layman's terms...he swam his a$$ off.

Start of the men's division.

Cycling, was 1.15...he was expecting a bit faster but the wind was blowing like crazy so even with a few extra minutes on his time, he was pleased.

Transitioning for run.

Troy will say that he wasn't happy with his run. He felt a bit dehydrated and he maybe didn't eat enough due to nerves in the morning but...he completed the 10k in under an hour.

Picture taken by a friend, thanks Kathy!

Well deserved drink.

Yesterday when we went for a hike, we went through part of the 10k trail and I pointed to a tree along the way and told him that when he passed it today to think about me waiting for him at the finish line and being so, so very proud of him.  Proud isn't even a strong enough word. Today was incredibly emotional for me, knowing how hard he worked...to see his commitment in completing this was pretty inspiring. The entire day I felt like my heart would explode with pride. 

Troy is a million different beautiful, inspirational things...today was a day that I know the both of us will remember for the rest of our lives. 

Congrats, my love...you are titanium for sure. Next stop...Ironman. 

Till next time,

Romy
