the countdown to being an IronMan!

As many of you know, Scott and I have been training for the last 20 weeks for the Ironman 70.3 Orlando. http://www.floridahalfironman.com/ We are glad to say that our event is this Sunday, May 16th! To date, this is the biggest endurance race we’ve ever participated in.

We ask that you please join us in prayer during our event. Specifically,
-that God will bless our training for the past 5 months,
-that we will not over heat (supposed to be 89 degrees),
-that we will not under-hydrate,
-that we will race injury/blister/aliment free,
-that we will not get a flat tire, and
-that we will have endurance and strength and mind-set to swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles, and run 13.1 miles.

It starts at 7am and we hope to be finished within 7 hours. Would you pick a time in the day between 6am and 3pm on Sunday and pray for Scott and I? Also, our dear buddy John Mark- who we have been training with…will be competing! (Formerly known as the ‘Triple C’s’ in the Augusta Ironman 70.3 Relay!)

I’ll try to update the blog after we finish. Stay tuned.

Thanks, friends.
