Kevin completed an off road triathlon today! He did the same one last year with some friends, and decided to do it again this year because he enjoyed it. It consists of a 400m lake swim, a 20k mountain bike ride and a 5k trail run.
Here's what I want to brag about...
Please remember that we live in Texas, and it is the middle of August. Today's high was over 100. The lows don't get below 80, so even at 7am it is about 85. Training for this event has been nearly impossible, as you know, we have recently added to our family! We spent 2 weeks in China and 1 week recovering from the worst jet lag we could imagine. Once Kevin recovered from jet lag and was back to work he got sent out of town for a HUGE project. For the past 3 weeks he has been working in West Texas, outdoors, putting in 10 hour days, wearing fire proof coveralls. Talk about sweat! He comes home on weekends to try to catch up with us, reconnect with his kids that think he got lost and then he is right back at it.
So, I am SO proud of him! He's got a sprained ankle and some scrapes from a hard crash to prove he gave it all he had!
WAY TO GO, KEVIN!
Post race dip in the lake with Dada!

Seriously, Dude: that's hardcore. I'd love to do a triathlon but I dunno if my beach cruiser could handle the pressure.
Nice job uncle Kevin! We love and miss all of you!
