Ironman Florida

Adam ran his second Ironman in November 2014 in Panama City, FL. We went down to the beach for almost an entire week and had such a good time. Although, it was my first week back from maternity leave, and I had no more vacation time, so I had to work the whole time. That was not fun!

Taylor loved the sand and became a fish in the water that week.

Baron wasn't so sure about the cold ocean waves, but he enjoyed laying on the beach and floating in the pool! 

The day before the Ironman was Halloween. They had trick or treating at the Athlete's Village and an Iron Kids race that Taylor ran. Taylor was Elsa, Andi was Anna and Baron was Olaf.

 At the Athlete's Village, Adam and I also tried out the Normatec boots.

The day of the race was the worst weather day the entire time we were there. It was very windy and in the 40s, although the sun was shining. The current was so bad, they had to cancel the swim. I'm so thankful this wasn't Adam's first Ironman, but it was for over 1,100 athletes. So much training to go into it and not even get to do the swim!

Ready to go for a swim that didn't happen. :(

I don't have any pictures from the bike, but I have several from the run. We saw Adam after about 5 miles and his eye was hurting. I ran in to get new contacts for him to switch out when he came back by, but as he was trying to put it in, the wind blew it away! He had to put his old one back in, but thankfully they started feeling better, just stayed foggy for the rest of the race. 

Adam's cheering squad! I don't know if you can see it, but Taylor's drew the Ironman M Dot on hers.

Adam brought the Superman clothing to change into for the last half of the marathon. Apparently, people cheer more for you when you're dressed funny!

Taylor fell asleep while waiting on Daddy.

 Adam Tomlin, you ARE an Ironman!

The day after the Ironman, we went to visit Gulf World. It's a pretty neat place!
