Hickory Grove Triathlon

Scott completed his Hickory Grove Triathlon today. It went much better than the Pigman. No flat tires. We did have a minor setback yesterday while driving there though. My Ford Focus broke down on the interstate. Luckily we weren't very far out and were able to drive it back to the mechanic. We're thinking its transmission problems but hoping for something simpler and cheaper.

Here are all the males 25-29 diving into the water.

Scott is coming out of the water behind the guy in all orange. He had a dream he was going to get kicked in the face and get a bloddy nose. Well he did get kicked in the face but no bloody nose. Its possibly broken though. He's a little purple around the eyes. Almost not noticeable. After getting kicked in the face he had a moment of "Where am I, Why am I in the water?" The kayak rescuers made sure he was ok and then he kept swimming.

Scott on his bike. No flats!

Elliott and Darlene came and watched Scott for the Triathlon. He was so happy to have a cheering section. Thanks for coming guys!
