Triathlon #2 Complete

Last Saturday James finished the Pleasant Grove "Viking Tri" all to raise money for the Pleasant Grove Highschool swim team. It was a blustery 37 degrees outside with 30mph wind gusts! This was a backwards triathlon in that they ran first, then biked, and finished up swimming in an outdoor heated pool. The run was a cross country course with some good climbs in it. The bike was only 10 miles but had two good climbs and alot of biking into the wind! I only got to watch the last leg of the race, so all of the pictures are of him in the pool. It was freezing! We busted out the coats and warm socks! He finished 10 minutes faster than his last one in July, so he is improving dramatically with every race. Once again, my brother in law Carl participated as well and shaved three minutes off his time. They both felt that this course was a lot more difficult than the Logan one which was all flat, and nice weather. Good job boys! James finished in 1 hour 18 minutes (as seen from the picture at the bottom) and Carl finished in 1 hour 6 minutes.
