Kyle's first triathlon

Kyle did his first triathlon in St. George, UT this Saturday. I was so proud of him for setting this goal and accomplishing it.
It was a sprint triathlon, which means a 400 meter swim, 10 mile bike ride and a 5K (3.1 miles) run. His best time was on the swim, his favorite part is the bike ride, and he wants to improve his run for the next one. His overall time was 1 hour 19 minutes.
It was fun for the whole family and I am glad the boys got to see their dad compete. He plans on entering another triathlon in June in Provo, UT. This next race is an Olympic distance, which is double what he just did in St. George. I know he can do anything he puts his mind to.

Hey Julie~ How could I ever forget the Gropps?! Colorado! Wow! That's like... so far away from Texas! LOL!! Looks like you had a great trip to AZ & UT. We will be in AZ this summer for a few days. I am trying to make it to Tucson, but it depends (we'll be in Benson for a reunion). Yes, our family has grown, but so has yours! Glad you "found" me!! I have seen your name on the blogs of Heather & Amy, but didn't connect it since I didn't click it! Duh! :-)
