kevin's sprint triathlon

well, he did it! kevin completed his first sprint triathlon last month. he thought it would be a great motivation to lose some weight and also has always wanted to participate in one. so...he signed up, trained for a several months, lost 10 lbs in the process, and completed it in better time than he hoped! and the first thing he was talking about afterwards was how he wanted to do the august rush sprint triathlon in rexburg. i think he even signed up for it that same weekend!

kevin did the rigby sprint triathlon. the weather that morning was LESS THAN DESIRABLE! it was freezing cold, raining, and blowing wind. he started the race by swimming 1/2 mile in the rigby lake. it was so cold just watching him...i can't imagine how it felt swimming it.




then he was off to do his 20k bike race. kevin said that this part was by far the easiest. and he was able to push hard during his ride.



here's a picture of madalyn watching for her dad to whizz by on his bike.
