Brendan's Ironman Photos> Part 1

Okay, these are the pretty terrible photos that I took.

There's some cool video and some other great photos...including the smiliest Brendan photo that I have ever seen...but I have to get some of them scanned so you'll have to stay tuned.

Here's part 1, though. Click on the photo below to get started.

From Brendan's Iro...

And after you see these pictures you'll understand this. I really want to thank Pat and Jack for coming in from California. I know that was a long trip, and you're not used to our Midwest chilly monsoons, and you were real troopers!

I also particularly want to thank Amy, Jen and Meghan for coming out. It's one thing to go out to support your friend for a few hours, or see them at the start or finish, which is awesome in and of itself. But to drive three hours, rent a hotel room, get up at the crack of dawn, and then stand out there in horrible weather conditions for 12 hours, freezing to support him...that's a different sort of thing altogether, and it really really means a lot to both of us.
