Oscar's Triathlon

8/16/08
We traveled to Rexburg Idaho this weekend for Oscar to participate in his first ever Triathlon!! The Rush Triathlon was a whole new experience for both of us! Here is Oscar trying out some of his gear the night before. *smile*



He started bright and early Saturday morning with a half mile swim which he completed in just over 23 minutes. Woo Hoo Here is Oscar with his buddy Tyler who came up from Utah to compete with him.






Then it was transition to the bike, which took about 4 minutes because he high fived all the boys and gave me a good luck kiss *blush*







Looking happy for his 14 mile bike ride which included some pretty steep hills, like the one by the temple.






We stoped on the way to get him some McDonalds and here he is taking a sip and starting on his 3 mile run.



He's almost done just 3/4 around the track and....




He made it in 1 hour 51 minutes ruffly.



WoooooHooooo Oscar way to go we're all so proud of you for sticking to it!!





I love listening to Oscar tell about his experiences, just like this one. He told us how it really helped when people would cheer and give you encouragement. He talked about how he was texting friends while on his bike, high fiving all the volunteers, and even talking to the people on the street. hehehehehe. If you want to read Oscar's version of what happened here is a link to it.

I think he is already planning on doing it again next year, and Oscar and Zachary seem a little bit interested to do it too. We'll see *wink*
