My First Triathlon

David, my sister-in-law's husband finally convinced me to do a triathlon with him. He has done 5 or 6 of them. When Jaren found out I was doing one He got excited and decided to join us. We all had a lot of fun. There is something unique about swimming, riding and running all in one race. It is great doing this kind of stuff with family.
This summer I was able to ride with Jason and that was a highlight of my summer. Jason and I raced in separate races one evening and I finished my first road race.
Well, here are some pictures of my first triathlon... it was the best since Jaren and David did it too.

Because it is so cold here the triathlon was reversed. We ran, road, then swam in a warm pool to finish off. Does anyone else think I look kind of like the bullies that beat up "Daniel son" in karate kid after the Halloween dance?

  1. Totally! You like like the one who dressed up as a skeleton. (Or did they all dress up as skeletons?) You're the only person who would think of that, Daniel son. You're so cute!

    I think it's so cool that you did a tri....and with brothers. What fun! I'm impressed. Congrats!

    Ian is cute. Your wife is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

    This links to the age group page. I was in 25-29 and Jaren was 30-34. If you click on our names it gives individual times and places.

    Thanks Jason
