Full Triathlon

Riley has been looking forward to this race for a long time.  He's done a couple sprint triathlons these past summers, but this was the big one.  I think it had a 1 mile swim then a 25 mile bike then a 6 mile run.  Riley hoped he would finish in 3 1/2 hours.  He finished just under 3.  

Here he is coming around one of the last corners on the bike.  First he swam, but after I dropped him off to register, I went back to the hotel to shower and what not, so I missed the swim part of the race.
And this is the end of the 6 miles and end of the race.  He was tired, but not as tired as I thought.  He's already talking about the next one.  He did a great job and I had fun spending my first night away from my kids EVER!  Thanks Lenette and Beau for that!

Skating Elli

Before our neighbors moved this summer, they gave us two pairs of skates that their girls had grown out of.  The skates are way too big for Elli, but she loves to skate around the street.  Luckily the neighbors were safety savvy and also gave us the knee pads, wrist guards and even some elbow pads that Elli forgot.
