Our great friends, the Reece's, told us about it because they did it last year. So we joined in the fun.
Dallin, Amy and Caleb before the race started.... helmets and numbers on.....
Ready, Set, Go!
Lee ran next to Amy, with the camera, so I pulled double duty carrying Tyler and Will. I had to hold Will because he wanted to participate and he's a tad too small. He would have gotten trampled for sure. Next year he should be able to do it.
Winner!! Amy was so excited about her trophy!
Everyone is a winner! They all got trophies!!

This is Linda Reece. One of the greatest people in the world and one of my favorite friends. Her and I had a 'girls night' last night and watched Pride and Prejudice.... with lots of talking, laughing and eating junk food. I got home at 2am! It was awesome! Her husband was in California, at a conference (He's a PhD student as well). So she did all this... transporting 3 kids, 2 bikes, etc all by herself. She's amazing!
Her and her kids.

They always end up like this....
It was a really fun morning. And I love that Amy loved it too. I have a video that I'll upload. Yesterday we had a random cold spell, and it was cloudy and chilly. But today it ended up being perfect weather. Next year (hopefully!!) I'll be the one that does a triathlon. I can't wait. :)
After this, we can home and Will, Tyler and I all took long naps. I needed it! I've had 3 really late nights (Weds, I was just up late working on my craft blog. Thurs was book club and last night with Linda) so I was running really low on energy.
Tomorrow Lee heads to Mississippi to defend. Official defense date and time: Monday at 3:30pm (central time). So everyone send up prayers, well wishes and happy thoughts at that time! (Hopefully) we are almost done with this!!!!!!
Great fun. Prayers are sent minute by minute. Good luck Lee. Love always.
ReplyDeleteGlad he finally got a date! We'll be praying for him (and you)!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you about that little triathlon I trained for in New Orleans? It was supposed to happen the weekend Katrina hit, so I didn't get to do it. But I've always wanted to do another one. Now, though, I have no bicycle or a place to swim anymore :) I do have a helmet though!!
It looks like you all had a great time and it sounds like such a great idea for the kids. Nothing like getting them thinking in that direction as they get older.
ReplyDeleteSarah I do think you are loosing a lot of your baby weight you look great in the pictures. Keep up the good work.
I hope the next thing I hear is that we have a Dr. in the family. We are all praying it all comes out fine. I know it will be a big relief to you and Lee. I love you all, Gram
