And, he's OFF and running (and swimming and biking)!

OK, Alex just started the Canadian Iron Man Competition about 50 minutes ago. For the next couple of hours, he'll be swimming 2.4 miles. Then, he starts a 112-mile bike ride followed by a 26-mile run!!! He's awesome...our family will be tracking his progress. You can watch for his times on the Iron Man Website. Maria just did her part and lit a candle ;-) I feel kinda guilty just sitting here in bed sipping coffee and surfing the Internet--Go Alex, GO!
