Jay's Sprint Triathlon

We wanted to share Jay's race weekend with everyone.
He and a friend from college participated in a sprint triathlon last weekend:
200 yd swim, 10 mile bike ride, and a 2 mile run.

Jay started off well, completing his swim in about 3 minutes!


Then the bike ride up and down and around the Cajundome area in Lafayette...


While Jay enjoys biking the most, he has definitely decided to invest in a road bike vs a mountain bike for his next road race.






Finishing up with the 2 mile run. The kids were able to follow along and look for them at specific points in the race course. They were supportive cheerleaders at every stop. Here is Pete giving them a high five -



Tyler and Alli actually ran after Jay and followed him to the end of this street, he got cheers for having a personal fan club.





Mission Completed! The goal for both guys was to simply finish the race - they both completed in just over an hour.



Jay is already looking for the next race that he wants to attempt.
I am content to be a cheerleader on the sidelines with the kids for now.
