Love this so much, but has to come here to say, SECOND PLACE?!?! I’m in AWE of you two!!! And the photo after the race is one of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time. Genuine, overwhelming happiness on both of your faces 🥹

Ahhh CONGRATS x at least 3! Triathlon- just the completion would have been impressive enough. Carson- how incredible at his leaps and bounds, you must feel a crazy amount of both pride and relief. And TWO BOOK DEALS?!? STOP! That is the best news. I’ll speak for the masses when I say, WE CAN’T WAIT to hear more and read them!
