Jake's new hobby!

Last year Jake had a really bad injury while playing softball. He has been out of commission for some time now and always looked like a sad puppy dog when I would finish my races or go work out. Lately he got into swimming and I suggested he sign up for a Sprint Triathalon. So we looked it up and I made him sign up right then so he couldn't back out. He only had about 6 weeks to train but was so diligent at following his schedule that he set up. He hurt his knee last week while playing church ball but was determined to still do the race. It has been so fun to see him so motivated and enjoying something so much. We already spent a bunch of money on stuff for the race but I could see a street bike on the wish list in the near future.

Not Jake: Just humorous people dressed up

 I wish I could have got the picture but my dad ran up with Kambree so she could give him a high five.

 Kambree had so much fun with Grandpa Turkey playing and rolling in the grass.

 This guy cracked me up. He was riding a little girl bike with a pink helmet.

 Finish time 1 hour 25 minutes! Great job Jake. We are so proud of you!

Great Job Jake! Craig did one when we were engaged and I always thought I'd do one someday but I never have. Thanks for your comment on my blog today, by the way! I hadn't had any comments for awhile, so I was happy to see yours! :) Comments always make my day! And yes, we should get together soon!
