Triathlon

This is definitely my favorite event of the year. It is so fun watching and cheering everyone on. Especially those that aren't so fast. There's one boy from another ward that goes every year. He is slow. He started swimming in the first heat, and was still swimming a few heats later. I think he doggie paddles his way across the bay, but whatever works! He does it every year and it's amazing the determination he has.David is always a lifeguard. This year he actually had to save somebody. When he got the man to the edge, the man couldn't even stand up. Pretty sure he didn't finish the race.

Jason wasn't feeling well, so he didn't do it this year.

That's a lot of people...and a lot of getting kicked in the head!

It's great that the leaders even participate. The boys do have GREAT leaders.
Troy came in 5th place of the whole race, counting relays and all. (relays are faster because they aren't tired yet) Right after Troy crossed the finish line, I ran over and caught Eric taking off for the run. Then back to the finish line to watch a lot of friends finish. Noah beat President Mitchell by about a second. Eric was a few minutes behind them.

Troy placed 3rd in his age group. Each of the boys were only a few seconds apart in their time. They even ran together and made new friends along the way. It's great that they can be competitive, but still be friendly and good sports. Looking forward to next year!!!!
