Our little triathlete!Victor recently took part in his first "mini" triathlon! It was sponsored by the YMCA and was just a tad bit shorter than a sprint triathlon. He completed a 1/4 mile swim, 6 mile bike ride, and 2 mile run. This was the perfect way for him to get his feet wet in the triathlon world. . no pun intended. ha ha
Victor's Mom and sister came to cheer him along.
The boys were so excited to make their Dad signs.We have had 100 degree weather and on the day of the event it was 63 and raining! It was nice that it wasn't so hot and I was very happy I had hit the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (haven't missed it since I was 17, one of the best sales ever! If you need more details ask me and I will fill you in!) and had picked the kids up the start of their fall wardrobe.
Vic has never been a strong swimmer and has been working at it the last month or so. He has gotten so much better and I know if he keeps it up he will be a little fish in no time. He did awesome! Vic hauled butt in the run and bike. Overall, he came in towards the front middle of the pack (if that is a good way of describing his placement?).
Vic's the guy waving. This year they had the most participants ever. Over 600 people raced (men, women, advanced, intermediate, beginner)!
No clue where Victor is in here. . . somewhere!
Getting ready to cross the finish line.I am so proud of Victor. He is the best little Dad and is always involved and out there playing with the kids no matter what it is baseball, basketball, football, riding bikes, reading books, or building with blocks. I am so appreciative of the fact we are an active family and I have husband who wants to get out and do things. Most of all I love it that he teaches the kids to set goals and work hard to accomplish them. We are excited to attend and cheer Vic on in more "tri" events. Way to go babe, we love you so much!
After all of this my belief that my camera is a piece of crap was reinforced. If you have a camera that is awesome and you love, please fill me in!
Update just in. . . . The YMCA just posted results and Victor got 90th place out of 299!!! His overall time was 52.31.

Way to go Vic!! What a fun experience. I LOVE being active as a family--it's such a good example for the kids, and it helps us stay healthy! Plus, it beats staying at home, watching a disaster being made every time you turn your back :) Miss you!
Nice Job Victor - as a nurse you must be aware of the fact that you are probably suffering from a mental illness????? Why else would you put your body through that??? Kidding. I agree Allison it is great that you have a cute "active" little fam.
I must also say I really really like your haircut it looks super good on you.
Guess you better get training and join him so you are in the pics next time:)
