this am we went out to cheer on uncle zach and friends who were participating in the sprint triathlon. it was really, really fun. uncle zach did an awesome job! after several folks had encouraged mike to do it...he decided to sign up. he had been training especially the swimming..which was a little more than challenging for him (he said it was the hardest physical fitness thing he had ever done). he had been working on his form and had actually begun to improve his time. after the fracture of his elbow last week he was unable to participate this am. the "Y" applied his entree fee to next years event...yipee! does that mean he has a whole year to train? allison said at lunch that uncle bryan has got the itch to do one too. looks like we might need to do some shirts next year or something....
this was uncle zach's fan club. it was really fun especially to see folks begin each stage. they would run out of the Y jump on their bikes and then come back close to the cheering area and begin the run which ended back where everyone to cheer for them. i think the kids had a great time.
the Y had a big loud speaker that they played some jams on during the event. these 4 were doing a little dancing...it was pretty cute.
in order: lainey, meredith, samara, phin
this is uncle zach in the black t-shirt. zach really did awesome. he said his goal was just to finish. he surpassed that by an even better time than he thought he might do. he told his mom, reba, who later told me..."i just coasted in, i think i still had a little left in me..." whata go zach! we are really proud of you. it was so fun to cheer and watch for him.
