TRI it...

Chad just competed in his first Triathalon! He is amazing and he did so good. It was fun for me to watch everyone. There were some interesting competitors (aka the guy who didn't wear goggles and didn't get his hair wet and the lady who did the bike portion on the beach cruiser.) It was so fun to watch him.

Killing it on the Swim
Moving onto the bike.
Chad is an animal on a bike. So, funny story. I had walked out to the street to watch Chad come by on his bike. When I could see him coming I started cheering and started taking pictures. The lady in the green thought I was taking pictures of her...she was totally waving, posing, and smiling!

Onto the run....he had already swam and biked and he still had a smile on his face! I would have been crying.

Coming into the finish line. So, kind of funny...in the background you can see the kid in the black outfit. Once they turned the corner these people next to me started going crazy! They were yelling at the kid "Catch him! Catch him!" Well the kid was at a mad sprint!! My competitiveness kicked in and I jumped up and was yelling at Chad, "Run, Run, Run!! Don't let him catch you!" Typically I'm a pretty low key spectator, but not this time! Good thing is, Chad beat him!
I'm so proud of you Chaddy!
