Try a Tri



The day before Benjamin's birthday Josh and Mark ( his dad ) completed their first triathlon in Guelph. It was called a Try a tri - they had to swim 375 meters, bike 10 km and run 2.5 km. None of us had ever been or seen a triathlon so we didn't know what to expect. The crowd was huge and the atmosphere was intense, there had to be at least two thousand people there, three hundred plus in their category alone. The winner in the group was a 13 year old who finished in 36 minutes, Josh finished 58 minutes and Mark around 112. It was so exciting watching them cross the finish line, I am so proud of them. I know I would not even have the guts to do it myself, but they did awesome! They now both have bought a road bike since and have been training for their next one in September - hoping to beat there previous times ( which we know they will )
