6.15.11

A few weekends ago Greg and two of my brothers did their first triathlon.

It all started because my bros were having this huge rivalry and made the mistake of mentioning it to Greg. Greg wasn't really in it for the race with them, but wanted to try and get himself into shape. Not so cool for your hubby to be shedding pounds and looking all good, when all you are doing is gaining...

This was before the race... Looking happy



The kids and i went to cheer him on. Along with by two brothers families, and my parents.

Proud kiddos... They were so excited for daddies big race.



The three boys...



My two brothers signed up to start in the "elite group" even though they weren't elite, so that they would be ahead of the crowd of swimmers. Somehow the morning of the race, they also talked Greg into changing to the "Elites" haha. More like the three stooges..



Feeding the ducks.



The major mommy fail moment of the day was when I realized that I brought two left shoes for Quin. Oops. She has two pairs of those sandals and I accidentally grabbed the wrong ones. She didn't really seems to notice though.



looking for daddy...




Uncle brably came out of the water first...


Then uncle bry bry who was sputtering water after being choked by his too small wet suit.



and a few minutes later came greg! Wahoo.




Starting the bike ride with a smile.




When we were crossing the street to get to a good spot for watching, Quin darted into the road and almost got run over by one of the bikers. Like literally two inches from her face. That was mommy fail moment numero dose.

It was a lovely morning and made for some pretty pictures while we were waiting.



Don't laugh at the fedora. I'm trying to pull it off, but not sure its really happening for me! :) Don't the kids look happy! haha



Don't take a picture of me mommy...



Brad raced by on his bike first. And I didn't get a good picture of bryon coming through.



Then I turned around and saw this... Mommy fail #3 ?



And then G passed by.



Car picked all these dandelions for me. But he wouldn't pose for a picture.



Running was last, and I only got a shot of G... Still happy!



I didn't get any pics of the finish line because I was videoing...

But here are the ELITE!





G wasn't really happy with his time, but he did another tri the next weekend and improved by 10 minutes. I didn't go to that one since it was at 7 am... But I'm so proud of him and his hard work! Makes me wish I could work out a little. Oh well. I gotta get a lot more fat before I start to get thin again, so I'm just gonna go eat. OK?!
