"Triathlon 2013"....

I am so proud of Jay for finishing his first Triathlon a few weeks ago!  He has done many races - 5K's, 10K's, half-marathons, full Marathons, and a Duathalon...., but he can now add to that list that he has done a Triathlon also. He trained so faithfully for this race, and I was more than proud of him for his commitment to the training. The kids and I, as well as my parents, supported him the morning of the race with loud cheers. I haven't missed a race yet, and am so thankful that I was able to be at this one also. This was the first time he has added swimming to a race - and it was an open swim in the middle of a lake. He was especially glad when that part was over! He was very confident with the biking and the running, but the swimming was new to him and he said it was easy to get disoriented in the lake, so he was thankful to get that part over with first! He was pleased with his finish time, and we were thrilled for him. He finished strong and after a few minutes, you would have never known he had just completed a triathlon.

Way to go Jay!
