Trav's Triathlon at Hagg Lake

Earl (nicknamed "the Pearl"), Cade, Travis, Aaron and Eric sporting their wetsuits.

Last Saturday Travis participated in his first triathlon. He signed up to do it with 6 other guys from our ward. He started training right after Brynley was born and had fun training with the guys. It was a sprint triathlon, which was a 1/2 mile swim, 13 mile bike ride and a 3.2 mile run. The course was really hilly so it was a bit challenging but he still did awesome. He finished in an hour and thirty-one minutes. He had a great time and is planning on continuing to do triathlons. We are signing up to do one together in September. The kids and I had a great time cheering him on and are so proud of him. He asked me right after what it is like being married to a triathlete. Lucky me!

And they are off....

They are somewhere out in the middle of the lake.

Heading for the FINISH!

The kids made signs for Trav. This one says "Dad is our Hero"!

The kids had to entertain themselves while we waited to see Travis again. This is Jake wrestling with his "girlfriends", Moriah and Cienna.

The kids had a great time playing with all of their friends while all the dads were doing the triathlon.

Jake was so excited his dad did "awesome"!
