He did it!! He did it! Woo-hoo!! He's a bit tired now, but now as exhausted as I thought he would be. It has been a long, but exciting day. We were up the mountain at 6 am so that he could set up his transition stations (going from swim to bike, and bike to run). This is a picture of T1 (transition station 1). 
The race started at 9:20 am. It was a great start, and luckily the water was warm - 71 degrees. I think it was warmer in the water than it was out.
Then off to bike up and over the mountains. This race course is almost all up hill (mountains) on trails!! He was quick on his bike, quicker that he anticipated, even with a flat towards the end. 
He was feeling pretty good when he started running. We don't have his official times yet, we'll post them when we get them. But he did great!! The entire race just barely over 4 hours!!! This is him crossing the finish line. . .PRICELESS!!

Congratulations son!! Wish we could have been there to cheer you on. We've very proud of you..keep up the good work. Jen, did you take all the kids too? If so, I'm doubly impressed with you...love you all, xx
Thats wicked! Im doing a 10k marathon in two weeks and i was worried about that! But Nate opened a can of whoop-tooshie on that triathlon! Very inspiring stuff!
We were on our way up for boating at Pineview just after 9am, so we saw all the hundreds of swimmers down in the water. I rolled down my window and shouted "Go Ormsby!!!", but I'm not sure Nathan heard me... :) We are way impressed!
SWEET! Not only did you show off your triathlon skills, but you got a sweet tattoo out of it.
Hope you like the number 726. It's going to be around for a long time.
Seriously...great job!!
That is awesome! Do you mind if I put this link up on my blog? Let me know.
Nicole, I don't mind at all! Go right on ahead!
Way to go Nathan! Anyone who can do those -athalons has got to be tough. That's awesome.
