Jeff finished the Ironman!

Jeff's Ironamn time: 16 hours 33 minutes
St. George Utah Ironman is finally done and Jeff can check it off his list of accomplishments. It was crazy hard and was painful to watch people push their bodies so much. This was the first year St. George Utah put on their Ironman and the problem was that they have SO many hard hills. It's hard enough to do an Ironman, but when you add freezing cold water, crazy steep hills, and wind...it almost seems unfair. All I was hearing at the end of the race was that nobody would be signing up for St. George again and that it was the hardest Ironman out there. Yep, that was Jeff' sfirst 140.6 mile Ironman!!!
All the boys finally done:

Brody had to entertain himself somehow...making "rock towers":

When we finally pulled into our driveway after the long car ride home, Jeff was surprised to see our house heart attacked and posters on the garage. Thanks to the Newmans and Wiemers:
