SWIM-BIKE-RUN

Last Saturday B participated in his FIRST TRIATHLON!! The day started off pretty rainy so the bike part of the triathlon was canceled. So I guess, technically, he participated in his first BIATHLON. :) Hmm...sounds weird.

Garrett W., Garrett G., Breck, B, & Brandon
(Just a little side note: A Sprint Triathalon is Child's Play for Garrett W. and especially since the bike part was canceled. So, he swam & ran next to the other guys & gave them some MOTIVATION!!!)


In the pond getting ready to swim!

B was the 2nd person in his group to get out of the water.

Transition Area. They normally would be getting ready to do the bike, but since that was canceled the run came next. (B is in the back getting his wetsuit off & his running shoes on!)

Out of transition

Running to the finish line. B finished 7th in his group overall. Not bad for his first tri.

After the race. Good Job Guys!!

And while we were at the triathlon my brother in law BEN was running the Squaw Peak 50 mile Trail Run, in the rain and the snow and the sleet and the mud.... He finished the race somewhere around 12 hours. (12 HOURS....THAT'S HALF A FREAKING DAY!!!) That is an insane amount of area to cover and especially in those conditions. Seriously, Ben, you are such a motivated person and you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Job Brandon!! It doesn't look like too much fun, but if that is what you enjoy more power to ya!! I guess I just wish I had more motivation.
