Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga: Colin's REALLY BIG Day!

[@vickielord5978]

I’m Colin’s mom and I’ve been beyond impressed with the things Colin has achieved in the last 4 years! I think having a team has really helped him believe he can do things he never dreamed possible! Go Colin!

All those years of nagging me as a kid to go out and get some exercise finally sunk in!

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Colin is an amazing human and triathlete! We can easily say our lives are better knowing him. Can’t wait to experience Finland with Colin and Katy!

[@katylord87]

So proud of my guy. Thank you both for all your encouragement and just being insanely cool people. Even if you did peer pressure him into shaving his legs. 😂 Can’t wait to cheer all three of you on in Finland!! 🇫🇮

[@colinlord]

Thank you for tolerating all the smelly laundry and leg hair stubble. Love you. ❤

[@TeamSaundersTri]

OMG! This is all already so epic! Thank you for letting us pressure him to shave his legs. 🤣 That is definitely THE reason he got a qualification slot. Haha. But yes, this next part of the journey is going to be so much fun!

1:01 such a dejected face for a finish line lol

[@TeamSaundersTri]

It was such a tough day for all of us. Glad to be finished but in no mood to celebrate. You know, we have to have those moments to remind us how incredible Chattanooga & ultimately qualifying for Finland really is!

[@colinlord]
