Tri'ing it Out

It's official...Brian is a triathlete!

Checking out the competition and the course.

First the 400 meter swim in San Diego's Mission Bay.

Not an official "event" but practically a sport in itself...changing out of the wetsuit while running, and changing into your biking clothes, then a running mount on your bike for the 9 mile bike ride.

And then running without your bike for a 5K.

All to successfully finish the sprint triathlon.

It was his first go at completing all three legs of a sprint triathlon and he did GREAT! It was the first of several scheduled this year and he intends to continue down this path while working up to a full triathlon eventually (quite a challenge, which you already know if you've ever tried training for just ONE sport to race...). But if anyone can do it, it's him. Congratulations on your first of many and may you swim like a fish, ride like the wind and run like the gingerbread man.

And an extra congrats to Renee on her first tri swim relay.
