Brothers Josiah and Nathanael Thalhofer, VHS (FamilyLink) ’05, recently competed in the Ironman Triathlon in Whistler, B.C.

The Thalhofers finished the grueling race — which includes a 2.5 mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and full marathon — with a time of 15 hours 28 minutes and 9 seconds.

As many as 200 competitors dropped out of the event after the swim due to unexpectedly cold and wet weather conditions, but the Thalhofers persevered to cross the finish line together.
