Herb Parsons Triathlon

On August 12, Justin competed in his third triathlon for the summer.
Thank goodness this time the Showman Shooter Triathlon was at Herb Parsons, only about 10 mins from home.  

Isn't it beautiful there!?
(Although a little sad for for me and Justin because of this being the place of Kramer's last run)

Justin had to get there super early in the morning, but we decided I would wake the kids up a little later  (although still early) and take them to see Daddy race this time!

It was nice this time, because usually, I can only see Justin do one part of the triathlon, which is normally his bike riding.  But at Herb Parsons, we could see all three parts!

This picture is totally in the shade, but you can barely see Justin running up the ramp out of the water.  He had just finished his swim which was 1/2 a mile.


Justin (in red and black) running to his first transition, getting ready to bike.


I found a little gravel lot that I walked the kids to.  We sat up our chairs and waited for Daddy to bike by.  I had packed us breakfast, so here are the kids eating boiled eggs and strawberries!  ha.


Justin is the second guy.  This was his first of two loops so we would get to see him again!
His total ride would be 22 miles.


Hi Daddy!!!


James was perfectly content playing in the rocks at 7:30am.  :)


Reese needed a little more time to wake up :) so she just chilled for a while.


We sat next to this group of people.  James got all excited at one point, and said, "Look at that sheep, Mommy!"  Haha....cracked me up!


Daddy's second time around!  Right after he passed, we quickly gathered our belongings and made our way to the finish line where we could see Justin run in.


Snack time while waiting for Daddy to finish!

Here he comes!!!  He was finishing his 3.75 mile trail run!


Run Daddy Run!


Justin finished in a time of 1:56:14.
He finished 5th in his age group!






Thought this was cute :)
