Mike's Triathlon

This morning we headed over to Bloomington IL to watch Mike finish his triathlon. But we had to wait a little while to see him come by and Pat was thrilled!

Becca too!

And don't forget George.

Jan took some shots of random bikers or runners.

Here comes Dad! He even waved!

He even smiled as he rode by.

We waited a few more minutes so we could see him run.


Here comes Dad again!

Again, he looks too happy to be working hard.

We then moved down the road to watch him finish. Turns out we weren't at the finish (I wondered why there wasn't a big sign!) but we cheered all the runners on.

Here he comes around the bend.



We gave him the energy to make his final kick!

He finished the whole race in 2hrs 2 min 21.9sec, placing 7th in his age group. The breakdown is
swim: 11:58.9 (2:12/100yd)
T1: 2:10.9
Bike: 1:17:11.2 (19.3MPH)
T2: 1:07.4
Run: 29:53.5 (9.38/mile)

We are so proud of Mike and amazed at his dedication. Thanks to all of you for your support and Jan for making the trip down. We love you Mike!
