Wiesbaden

We went to Wiesbaden last weekend.  It is just west of Frankfurt (it's where Pat was born).  Pat signed up for the Wiesbaden Ironman 70.3.  It was a quick trip; we left late Friday and came home early Monday.

We were lucky to have some nice sunny weather for the weekend.

The finish line, expo and athlete garden were all located at the Kurhaus in Wiesbaden.  The pre-race meeting was inside and here is a glimpse of how pretty it is.

 

While Pat was racing on Sunday the kids and I were hanging out in the city.  We stopped for ice cream before lunch because why not?

We saw Pat leave transition 2 (finish bike and start run).

There was a park right by T2 so the kids played there for a long time.

Then when we went over to cheer Pat on during the run and watch him finish.

Here comes Pat on one of his third loop on the run.

Finish!

We stopped at the Rheingau Wine fest after Pat finished for a glass of wine and some poffertjes (small Dutch pancakes) for the kids.
