Sprint Triathlon

Scott did his first sprint triathlon last month! A sprint consists of a 9 mile bike ride, a 3.2 mile run and a 400 meter swim. But actually the order of it is.. swim, bike, run.

Scott was talked into this on a tuesday and the event was on saturday. So with barely any training he goes and accomplishes this like he's done it a million times before. Its not fair. Sometimes I think the lungs and heart on him are not human. He can conquer these events like he's been training everyday for months. He doesnt realize how lucky he is to have this natural ability to perform. Anyway, I believe there will be many more of these to come, because what I do know is that once you have accomplished something like this, you get a bug. And it wont just go away.

He had some great cheerleaders!
