 Triathlete Buddies

 So proud of these kids!

Mother & Son Triathletes!

Marcus came in 4th for the boys in his age group 

and 5th overall in his age group.

We are SO PROUD of him!!!

Marcus' thoughts: 

Bike was easiest, run the hardest, swim was ok.

It was definitely harder due to two hour football practices

everyday for the last week with little rest.

He wants the tight swim shorts for the next triathlon.

Yes, he wants to do it again...probably Labor Day!

It was fun.

He's tired and ready for a nap.
