Brian Completes The Triathlon Sprint

On Saturday Brian competed in his first triathlon sprint. I know I talked about it before, so I won't add too many details other than to say he did well and we are so proud of him! I don't have any pictures from the swimming portion as I was his official lap counter, so I had to concentrate on that job. Here he is (below) finishing the bike portion (over 15 miles) and you can see Ty and Ladybug cheering him on from the side of the road.


This is when he is transitioning from the bike portion to the running portion. My father-in-law (green coat) was there to cheer him on and my neighbor was also there for support.

Here he is finishing the running portion. His official time was 1 hour 50 minutes and 16 seconds. The time on the clock was the time from the first person starting the swim. Since they staggered the start, the time was not the time of each individual.

Happy to be finished!
*Whew* About 15 minutes after this picture was taken, we were on the road to soccer games. Ty and Ladybug had 10:15 games and we only missed the first quarter. Now that is a good start to the day...a triathlon to get you going in the AM.
Congrats, Brian for a job well done! (((Hugs)))

P.S. All of these images were taken with my point and shoot. I couldn't lug around my big 5D while trying to encourage him and count laps, so I took the Sony Cybershot!
