140.6

That would be the number of miles a person travels in order to be called an Ironman. We are very proud to say that we are related to one!
On Thursday, in Ironman Village, we had the opportunity to make signs that were placed out on the race course. Emma was sure to sign her name on our masterpiece. :)Athlete #308 Tim Kasparek Iowa City, Iowa
After the cannon fires over 2,000 swimmers take off on a 2.4 mile swim in Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Emma was trying to pick Uncle Tim out in the crowd, but didn't have much luck.
Transition area #1-Tim prepares to set out on a 112 mile bike ride.
Team Kasparek
Tim's favorite little cheerleaders
We cheered our hearts out as the Red Bandit and Whitey fly by.
Now on to the 26.2 mile run
After 11 hours and 15 minutes, Camden was almost as tired as Uncle Tim. Good thing Babi was there to cuddle with!
Coach Lori and Chris help this Ironman into the chilly lake to soak his aching legs.
What an accomplishment!! Team Kasparek was beaming all over Coeur d'Alene!
