I'm not really sure if I've blogged about this before....but Chris had this crazy, wild, outrageous, out of this world, extreme idea that he should become a triathlete & do a triathlon. There just happened to be one going on at the school, so for 2 weeks...he woke up at 5:00am, 6 days a week, and trained. He's always been an athlete, but in order to WIN you have to practice, right?
Well...the day came for him to compete. The plan??
RUN-3.1 miles
BIKE-12 miles
SWIM- .7 miles
(I had that disgusted feeling in my stomach while I was typing that. I could NEVER do that. Cheers to anyone who does & has ever done a triathlon before.)
I didn't get to get many pictures because of the way it was all set up. But I was there for his final event, swimming.
He finished with a total time of (drum roll please.....) 1 hour, 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Yeah...what-a-stud, huh?? He was 1st in his heat, and overall was 12th out of 100.
This picture was taken after he was done....can you see the relief on his face?? I sure can.
GO 704!!! You-da-bestest!
Okay, so when Chris first told me he was doing a triathlon, I was thinking of an ironman triathlon. For some reason that's what I thought it was. So I am happy to see that it wasn't. It sounds like it was fun! Maybe I should do one.
