Our Triathlete

The smokey mountains

After the swimming

After the Biking

After the Running

So for those who didn't know, Adam has been training to do his first triathlon. It was supposed to happen this last weekend at Donner Lake. However, there are a bunch of fires in California right now, because of the smoke they cancelled his event. He not only signed up for it months ago, but has been training for it as well. :( He was totally bummed. They aren't rescheduling it, just crediting him for next year. He wanted to do a tahoe one next year, so we're kinda annoyed. ANYWAY, he and his friend decided to go up to Donner and do it anyway by themselves to prove that they could. They swam a 1/4 mile, biked 7 miles, and ran 3 miles. This one was his starter one, in many triathlons to come. The Tahoe one for next year is 1/2 m swim, 26 m bike ride, and 3 m run. Gabe, Greta, and I just wanted to tell him we think he's amazing for accomplishing his goal. We're so proud of our Triathlete!

Aw, I'm bummed it was canceled. I've been bragging to my friends and coworkers that Ad was doing it. I'm glad you did it anyway. Way to go!
