TriAthlon!! Sat April 18th

Saturday, April 18th was a day that Russ and our friend Max have

been waiting for for a few months now. A triathlon in Scottsboro, AL.

You see how the bikes are just sitting here??

lol WELL!!!!!!

Everyone is getting ready for the race and...

BANG!!!

Max had a blow out on his back tire.

I can't even tell you how WONDERFUL everyone was about
helping with the tire. Russ nor Max had an extra tube or tools. One of the riders who was next to them had an extra tube and tools and gave them to Max for his bike. Then a lady brought over a big bike pump and pumped the tires for them. All I can say is what SPORTSMANSHIP!

On Your Mark... Get Set... GO!!! And...They are OFF!

Here comes Russell from the 2 mile run...

Yes... He was as tired as he looks. He just got back from a 15 mile bike ride. He had to take off his shoes, socks and shirt and head to the pool. Ready for the last leg of the race...

Me, Kathy and Emma Fu sat around rooting Russ and Max on during the race!

Almost done! 200 meter swim. Russ said it didn't seem like he was in the pool very long. And the time for all this..... 1:08 He did the race under 1:10. He beat his goal by 2 min!! Way To Go Honey! I didn't put any photos of Max on here with him in the race, But he did it in 1:05. He won 3rd place in his age group! Way To Go Max! Kathy, Emma & I are proud of you both!!

After the triathlon we went to lunch then we had to stop off at a scrap book store, then e went to unclaimed baggage to have a look around. And guess what?? I didn't buy anything!! lol (well, not at unclaimed baggage anyway! I did at the scrap book store!! )
