Triathlon!!!

Today was Thunder's big race! Too bad we woke up to rainy, cold weather and a flat tire on Thunder's bike. Hmmm. Despite that, he and Randall made it in plenty of time to start.

This is everyone lined up before the swim began. Thunder and Randall started towards the middle of the pack.

Here is Thunder on the swim. Too bad his back was to me in all the shots I took!

After the swim was done, he quickly donned his shoes, shirt and helmet and was off to the biking portion. They had almost canceled this part due to heavy rain, so they had to be careful on all the corners. Thunder is in the blue helmet.

And we can't forget the trusty spectators! I must say, the kids were pretty good considering the pouring rain and cold wind. Tornado's feet were practically frozen, but he still kept chasing Sunshine through the rain puddles!

And the big finish! The run was last, and includes lots of hills. He came in at a time of 1 hour 42 minutes. I couldn't believe he was smiling after all that! Great job, we were proud!!
