Triathlon

Two days after Marilyn passed was Briggs' triathlon

Super:  50 yard swim, 1 mile bike ride, 1/2 mile run

He trained religiously, nearly every day all summer for it and was so excited!  When he puts his mind to something he gives it everything; it is something I really love and admire about him!  Sports totally drive him!  We were glad that Grandma and Grandpa were able to make it as well.

Here are some photos from the event!  Sure to be a yearly thing for us for sure!  He's already planning to do the extreme next year: 400 yard swim, 3.8 mile bike, 1.3 mile run.  He's already got the biking and running down it is the swim he will need to focus on this year.  He can totally do it!

And he sprinted the finish!

His stats: 10 minutes even, placed 3rd in his age group!  

We were so pleased with him!

 So proud of my little boy!

 He loved that he got a number on his leg like when Daddy did his!

Briggs' coach and biggest fan!

After it was over we all headed to Perkins for brunch!  It was a good day!
