Getting his number put on at the Logan sprint triathlon-this after a good scrub in the shower still looks just as dark as when he started! #282 for life!
The Triathletes: Brooke, Brant, and Carl Whiting with James 
First event:Swimming 500m James did the breast stroke the whole time and still managed to pass quite a few people(pretty impressive considering I don't really know how to swim!)
Second Event:12.5 mile bike ride When transitioning from swim to bike his chain fell off,but he took it all in stride!
Final event:3.1 mile run
This was the hardest transition for James. After getting off the bike he felt like he couldn't run. About halfway through he finally found his rhythm and sailed his way across the finish line in 1 hour 28 minutes! I was so proud of him! We have now created a monster and I think he has the triathlon bug. He can't wait to do his next one, and wants to keep in his training mode so that he can beat his time.My brother-in-law Carl, the veteran, who got James to do the triathlon, finished in 1 hour 10 minutes. Way to go boys! This whole experience made me so excited for my race in 6 weeks...it is coming up so fast!
