The big day arrived. My husband’s first triathlon. We were all anxious about the event, especially Hannah.
Getting ready for the swim to start. Hannah and Macy are trying to locate Mickey.
And they’re off! This is the first group of 5 and my husband is out there somewhere, although we didn’t realize it until he was getting out of the water.
A duck family wanted in on the action….
Eli clapped whenever the crowd did (which was a lot), cheering on the athletes.
Heading out on his bike (red helmet). Go Mickey, go!
And he’s back after only 5 minutes. A FLAT TIRE!!!
After a brief delay the bike portion of the race was completed. Here he is coming back into the transition area (his other tire promptly blew when he jumped off the bike).
And, finally, on the home stretch of the run.
You did it!
Congratulations! We are very proud of you!!

Go Mickey go! Nice photojournaling there, Teri! It makes me excited for mine coming up in just one month!
What an accomplishment! That's awesome! So glad his other tire didn't blow out till he got back. Yikes! Congrats to your hubs!
Woooooo, go him! I always admire people who can do the triathalons. I can't imagine being able to do all those legs.
Love your little redhead -- I've got one of those! I used to think it was so strange and funny that women would get all funny when they'd see my son and run up and get all swoony and talk about how they have a redhead themselves. Now I'm one of those women. LOL.
That's awesome Mickey! Makes me want to try it!
AwEsOmE! I want to try a triathalon next summer, except I pretty much bomb at swimming! ANd i am pretty sure a fish will bite my butt in the water. Very cool pics!
Yay Mighty Husband!!! But looking at those pictures makes me tired. He's a better man than I am.
Well...you know what I mean...
He looks like he didn't even break a sweat either! Awesome!
Wow I got my own "blog". Thanks Honey!
Awesome!
I tell you, I really admire him. All of the preparation, the dedication, and the strength it takes to do something so physically intense!
Sorry about the glitches, but look at his face at the end...obviously a great experience!
Way to go Mickey!!! And Way to GO TERRI...for taking care of the kiddos during ALL of the TRAINING!!
So are you in for next year?
That is an awesome accomplishment. Way to go. :o)
Oh wow good for him!! I could never have the stamina to do that! lol
Wow! Impressive. I *so* would want to do the swimming leg but not so much the running or biking.
Good for him. So when are you going to join him, Teri?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
GREAT PICS!!! I am envious! I Would love to do that one day.
