My brother, future Ironman


Yes, this is a bit different post - not a cute little Judd, but my little brother Ryan. As you can see though, not so 'little'. My little brother -31 years old- is competing in his 1st Ironman this weekend in Panama City. He has been doing the triathlon circuit for a few years now and is ready to go after his dream of competing in the grueling Ironman. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Ironman - Ryan will do a 2.4mile swim (in the Atlantic Ocean), 112mile bike ride and a marathon run at the end (26miles) - all without a break. Shew, I'm tired just thinking about it! At any rate, I'm lifting up prayers for him and his wife Bree for their weekend - for safe travels and that Ryan completes his race safely. Good Luck Ryan - we are so proud of you!
