June 27th was a big day! Ben not only competed in his first triathlon, the Smile Train Tri, but he also did it very close to his goal times. The race was at 7:00am. After a flat tire and an early morning, Ben had to be at the race at 5:45am. It was already hot! He finished a 250 meter swim in 4:45 (his goal was 5:30), 12 mile bike ride in 45:49 (his goal was 45:00), and a 3.1 mile run in 32:56 (his goal was 30:00). His total time for the race was 1:28:16 including his transitions. He set a goal for himself a couple of months ago and now it was completed! We are all so proud of him! Caleb even wore a shirt that said, "Go Dada!" What an accomplishment!
Starting the swim off strong!
He passed 4 people in the pool
Transitioning to the bike
There he goes on the bike ride
Cheering on his daddy!
Caleb and Eli watching the runners
And the run
Pushing it to the end! Way to go!
Celebrating after the race
