I Came - I Saw - I Conquered!
Andrew competed in his first triathlon at the end of this summer. The Triple V Triathlon is a sprint triathlon in Yankton that includes a 1/4 mile lake swim, 14 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run.
Andrew did awesome, especially for it being his first tri. He ended 6th in his age group (that includes the three I call wannabe pros) and 16th overall! Andrew convinced Jenn to compete with him a week before the race... Lets just say she's going to practice swimming before next year! 
The race was absolutely inspiring to me. Participants had their ages written on their legs and it was amazing to watch a woman rock the swim and then look at her leg and see that she was 43. And the 36-year-old woman who I later over heard tell someone this was her first triathlon in 13 years, after having 7 children! Or the 68-year-old man run through the finish line.
I'm signing up for next year!
