Local Support

Through this entire journey, Jenna and I have met some amazing, motivated, and inspirational people.  About 11 months ago when Jenna and I signed up for this race we told our family and friends the only way they would see us, was if they swam, biked, or ran.  Some of our friends have taken us up on the offer but most did not, so we branched out and found some more friends.  These friends are crazy like us, all they do is swim, bike, and run.  Like Jenna has mentioned the Southern Indiana Tri team has been amazing.  They have put on numerous events to help us train for the big race.  Over the past couple of weeks our friend, Jeff Williams, put together open water swims in the river.  The first week I was there I was a kayaker, but last week I got to swim the 4 miles in the river.  What a great experience! This is a picture of Michele, myself, and Mount after our nice 4 miler.

This past weekend I participated in the Evansville YMCA Olympic triathlon.  I was excited to do a race with no pressure, just for fun.  It was a little different to do a local race without Jenna here but I pushed on.  I lost count as to how many people asked where my partner in crime was.  It was a beautiful day and I had a good race.  I finished strong and had a great time!  I have attached two pictures from the race this weekend.


This picture is of me finishing the race!
