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.

Woo hoo! Way to go! I can't wait to get back into my triathlon shape. Thanks for the motivation. I can't remember if I have posted to your blog or not, but I wanted to say that your boys are just too cute. We sure miss you guys here, but I love to see how you are doing! Wishing you guys all the best!
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! :-)
Julie,
We would love to have you stay with us and we have no plans for that date. Just email me at dfaragher@juno.com and we can go over the details.
Love ya,
Sharon
