My Tri-Guys

When Chris announced last year that he was going to train for triathalons, I thought he was a little bit crazy. I thought he was even crazier when he started waking up at 5 am to do things like bike 40 miles and/or run 20 miles. Crazy, yes, but his dedication and his spirit was inspirational. I was proud of him. He said he was going to do it and he kept training for it, day after day, even when I could tell he would rather be out on the golf course with his buddies. (or sleeping in like his lazy wife.)

I didn't think I could be even more proud of him, but watching him swim, bike and run his way through his first tri, pushed my pride to new levels. Not only did he get through the training, but now he had finished his first tri, the QuakerMan, with me and our three boys cheering him on through each stage.

He is a rock star.

After the dad strutted his stuff, Aidan and Brennan also competed in the kids' tri - the QuakerKids. I was in awe of them as they swam, biked and ran just like their daddy.

My Tri-Guys.
