May 7
All my father-in-law wanted for his 60th birthday (which was May 3) was for the whole family to participate, in some way, shape, or form, in a triathlon with him. All the family in Utah did theirs togther today, and we did our own up here in Oregon. Chris did the Sprint - half an Olympic triathlon - distances just like everyone else, but Vicki and I were afraid of dying halfway through, so we did the Intermediate IronKids distances. I will admit up front that we walked instead of ran, and we did things a little out of order for convenience sake, but we had a lot of fun. We swam 150 yards (she did that much better than I), walked 1 mile (although I walked a full 5k with Chris), and biked 4 miles (which turned into 5 because our route ended up being 2.5 miles one way.) Here we are halfway through our bike ride, on the banks of the Columbia River. We had a blast and would definitely do it again! Happy belated birthday, Grandpa E.!
