The First of Many.....I'm Sure

Chad competed in the Provo Triathlon the first weekend in June and is officially addicted. He trained since January for the Olympic length (1 mile swim, 26 mile bike ride, 6.2 mile run). But because of the high water level etc. they cancelled the Olympic length, so he did the Sprint length instead (800 meter swim, 13 mile bike, 3.1 mile run). Chad was REALLY bummed, but I was thrilled to not have to entertain 3 kids for 4 hours.




Waiting for everything to start.
It was a BEAUTIFUL morning!!

So proud of Daddy. The weather was beautiful, and we had the biggest cheering section. And I even got to hang out with my friend Keveny---Her daughter is a triathlon MADWOMAN (going for elite status). Chad was thrilled with his 1hour 27 minute time--He said anything less that 1hr 45min would be awesome.


We headed straight from the race to the Art City Days Parade--and it was perfect timing.

Lovin' the candy and the music. I was so proud of my 3 kiddies, they were absolutely perfect all day long. It was especially amazing for Kater-bug, since I had to wake her up at 6am. Luckily she took a monster 4 hour nap that afternoon....All in all a wonderful day!!
