IRON ANNE

As promised, here are a few snaps of my FREAKISHLY STRONG sister. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the start of the race...

... but after a brisk 2.4 mile swim, Anne donned her "Full of Beans" jersey and got ready for the bike ride...

... coming in after her first lap. She's already ridden 57 miles, and SHE'S STILL SMILING!

Having finished 114 miles on her bike, Anne turns in her wheels for a pair of running shoes...

... and she's off yet again! I tell ya, nothing outlasts the Energizer Bonney... she keeps going, and going...

(OK I'm sorry, that last caption was B-A-D... but it IS amazing how she can still find the energy to smile and wave, isn't it?)

The sunset was absolutely spectacular. But unfortunately, even though the race started at about 8 AM, it wasn't over yet! Anne would have to finish her 26.2 mile run in the dark...

SHE DID IT!!!! In 15 hours and 42 minutes! VICTORY AND A LIFETIME OF PRIDE!!!!! And, perhaps a few blisters...
