Triathlon!!

Yesterday Jeff did the Blue Lake Triathlon! Yup, it was Father's Day, the day that he's supposed to be pampered and not do anything because he is an awesome dad, but instead he wanted to put his body through the wringer. It was pretty cool being there. Thanks to Bob for taking the pictures and being there to support Jeff!! Here's how the day went:


Getting ready to start the race off by doing the mile swim


Jeff's group was the second to go out


Finishing the swim - I can barely swim to save my life so to me this was pretty impressive. But swimming is Jeff's thing so this part was no sweat for him. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that Red Bull was a big sponsor for the event - what do you think?


They run out of the water and to the transition area where they get ready for the biking portion.


Ah, Jeff


The biking portion begins - they go for almost 25 miles - can we say sore bum?

And now for the running - the run is 6.2 miles


Me and Ports just showing Jeff some love


He finishes!






I'm so proud of my hubby! That's a lot to put your body through in one day. So we went home and took a nice little nap. Then it was time for Jeff to study for finals. Yup, it's finals week. Jeff just went through a huge physical stress, now he gets to go through a mental one too. What a hard worker, eh?

Wow! That's pretty amazing. I've always wanted to do something like that. But I just don't think I have it in me. That's pretty awesome! Congrats to Jeff!

Way to go Jeff! This is Dani Harmon... We haven't seen you guys in forever! I saw those picures below and I honestly don't think I would have recognized you had I run into you guys. You look amazing! And Porter is a little boy! He was just a baby last time we saw him. Hopefully we'll get to see you guys in the near future!
