Heatwave Triathlon....

Saturday, before we left for vacation, Matt competed in the Heatwave Triathlon ~ 1/2 mile swim, 24 1/2 mile bike, and 6.2 mile run. Yes, this is his "big" race each year! And we were so proud because he did it 15 minutes faster than last year...big improvement!

Anna Lauren and I love cheering for Daddy and for a special treat, Nanna joined his cheering section for this race. It was a fun morning for all, and we were very proud of Matt!

Matt (#308) walking into the water...I love this picture because they all look so serious / focused...

Matt (back left) coming out of the water...it was windy and the water was choppy, but he had a good swim overall...

Running to transition from swim to bike...

Going out on his bike...he raced in his "bright" shirt, which I love because I can spot him!

One of the many smiles he gives his cheering section! We are so blessed that he races with such a good attitude and always takes time to acknowledge us!

One more smile before heading out for 24 1/2 miles...

Here he comes...can you tell by his smile that the bike is his favorite?


Getting some water before heading out on the 6.2 mile run...there is nothing fun about this run...been there done that...you just have to get through it the best you can...

Anna Lauren loves races and especially when she makes new friends...we met Chloe at this race and they had a fun time playing together while their dads were racing...
Last little part of the run...almost done!

Headed to the finish line...not too many smiles at this point!
Between Matt's shirt and Anna Lauren's orange flower she insisted on wearing, you could easily spot these two!

Me and my triathlete...I love watching him race, but gosh, I CANNOT wait to be racing again!

Matt and Anna Lauren chilling in the shade after the race...way to go, Daddy!
