Triathalon Dad!


We are so PROUD of Travis! Today he did his first team triathalon in Rexburg. It is called the Rush Triathalon and it includes athletes from 14 states. There were 500 athletes, this was Travis' first time doing something like this and he worked really hard to be ready for it. He did this as a team with the Sheriffs Department Marine Deputy who swam 1 1/2 miles, the owner of Diary Queen rode 26 miles for the bike part, and then Travis ran the grueling 10K. Racers started at an elevation of 4800ft. About half way into the run portion, racers were at an elevation of 5,200ft. The course then dropped back down to 4,800ft. Thier team took 2nd place!!!!!! Travis' goal next year is to complete the whole Triathalon on his own!! Photos to see!
