Spring Triathalon!

Saturday was a big day for us! Jason, Emma, and Julia all participated in the Sand Hollow Triathalon. It was so much fun! I woke up early to go cheer Jason on. I was so proud of him! He beat his time from his last Tri in the fall and he is training for a bigger one in May. This time he is headed for open waters!
Emma and Julia were so cute to watch. This was Emma's second time and Julia's first. I was nervous for Julia but she surprised us! She isn't the strongest swimmer so she wore her life jacket but she was quick on the bike and the run. She had this determined look in her eye. She was all business!
Emma did great! She swam and biked great. I cracked up when she turned onto her back and backstroked her second lap. She had one little mishap on the run. Instead of running half a mile, she ran longer with the older kids. She was bummed but she came through the finish strong! She said she wants to train to do the sprint next time! I was definitely the proud mom and wife for the day.
