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!

Nice job Riley. I guess your taking it easy the week before really paid off. I am glad you beat your goal.
