Iron Triathlon

Friday night my Dad and step mom (Cindy or Nana, I may refer to her as either) came in to town. I went to bed about 10 minutes after they got here because the next morning the kids had a triathlon. Needless to say I did not sleep. The anticipation of getting up kept me up, go figure. We got ready and left and it felt like it took forever to get there. So we get there and I sign in and sign Daddy up to help volunteer. Which left Mark and Nana in charge of the kids and camera.


The kids are lined up and waiting for the start. They each had to swim a 100yd swim in the lake.

Daddy and I waited in transition area for the kids. (that was the spot we worked).

Daddy goes to see if Will needs help. He didn't but others did. Audrey being one of them they had to ride a 5k then run a 3k (I think). I really don't remember what they had to run. I do know that when Audrey came back to transition to start her run her shoes were on the wrong feet. So Nicky and I fixed her shoes and number. And off she went. Will did pretty good this year he had his good friend Kaden to bike and run with.

Later that day I took Audrey to a birthday party and then went and did a little shopping. Got home and made chicken and steak fajitas and t-bones with all the fixings. And the Mark and Daddy made root beer floats. YUM

Today was playing of the Wii. Nana got out bowled by Will.

Then Daddy and I played tennis I kicked his bottom. He also played baseball with Will but I am not sure how he came out of that one. Then I showed them the Wii fit, Nana wanted to get home so she could go buy both. It was a really nice visit and it reminds me how much I miss my family and my Daddy. There is nothing like personal contact or listening to your family.
