Tri for Fun!

I am so super proud of Ben:) !  He ran (well, and swam and biked) in the Tri-For-Fun at Rancho Seco today.  He and his friend, Jarrod, did it together.  I pulled the five little ones out of bed at 6:45 a.m., loaded them in the car, with a quick stop for Mickey D's pancakes.  They had fun playing while we waited for Ben to get back from the bike section of the race.  We were too late to catch him swimming.

 His hand is out for his number that was left at home.  I was supposed to get it to him before he left on the bike.  I had given it to a volunteer when I got there but it never made it to Ben. 

The woman in front of him blocked my shot! (It's a bit hard to take pictures with twins in your arms!) But there he is, starting the run, and final section of the race.

Crossing the finish line!  The kids were so excited for this part. 

Ben and Jarrod-super tired, but glad they both decided to go for it and do their first triathlon!

Afterward, we had a celebratory lunch at Spaghetti Factory...

It is the one place that everyone will eat and eat a lot.
