Andrew's Triathalon

On Sunday Andrew did his first mini traiathalon. It was at Deer Creek state park and he did a 250 yard swim, a 7 mile bike ride and 2 mile run. I didn't get a good shot of him getting out of the water, but he had a commanding lead after the swim as he is such a strong swimmer. There were tons of people there, take a look at all those bikes in the background. There were many types and lengths of races. Andrew lost some time on the bicycle leg because his bike is a standard mountain and not a racing bike so he had to work twice as hard to go half as fast. But he made up the time on the run, coming back before many of the runners who came in a head of him on the bike. And here he is getting the best time in his division, one hour and 7 minutes! It was a sunny and cool morning, definitely a different way to spend our Sunday.
