The Justice Family: Tri Daddy

This Saturday, Travis competed in his third sprint triathlon of this year. Finally, this one was in town so Campbell and I got to go cheer him on. This was the same triathlon he did last year without training for it. He beat his time from last year by NINETEEN MINUTES! That is outstanding! He has been working so hard and Campbell and I are really proud of him. You'll see the sign she made him in the pictures below. I never really thought about us being such a spectacle, I just thought it'd be neat to make Travis a sign. Oh my gosh, what a spectacle we were!!! There aren't all that many kids there, and then to have a baby in a big stroller with an even bigger sign and a picture...we definitely stood out! But I think Travis thought it was sweet and I'm glad we made sure to recognize him (aka embarass him) at Campbell's first triathlon. :)

Travis' swim was his best event - I swear he must have gills or fins somewhere. He also did very well on the bike and the run. I find the whole thing pretty amazing. Even though we had to get Campbell up at 5 a.m. to get there in time, it was well worth it. She did great on a little less sleep and handled the change in schedule really well. It was really nice to be there at the finish line for a sweaty kiss and to congratulate him. Travis has two more triathlons this summer...he is seriously crazy!! Enjoy the pictures below from Saturday's race. Go Daddy!!

Out of the water!

Then off to bike 17 miles...

And finally, run a 5K. WOW!

All the excitement wore Campbell out!

A quick nap during Daddy's bikeride. She wanted to save up all her energy for the finish line.

Daddy comes around the corner for the final stretch...almost to the finish line!
