Looking good at Mile 22.
About 100 yards before the finish line. You can see this didn't end so well if the kids were able to walk beside him. :)
Time - 3 hrs. 39 minutes. 19th place - amazing!
And this is Collin taking pictures in the car as Daddy goes into shock after his run.
Tyson really did amazing and we are super proud of him. He had hoped to win :) or at least come in 10th place or better, but his body had a different plan. He didn't refuel along the way well enough and he "bonked". His body just literally starting shutting down. He was in 4th place all the way to mile 22 or 23, then he slowly lost his lead, and could barely even make himself walk the last mile. It was brutal. He was in so much pain and I felt so bad. He vowed he would never do another marathon again! We hope not, but I have my doubts. We are still so impressed. He finished 19th place which is still quite impressive, but he doesn't even want to talk about it...not too proud of that moment. He is running a half marathon in Moab this coming March.
The kids had a good time playing with my camera while we waited in the car for other friends to finish the race.
