Cayden and Dylan joined mom and dad by officially becoming triathletes this past weekend! Despite the weather being in the high 90's and record setting dew points/humidity - they both did a great job and had a lot of fun. Jan and I were both pretty nervous during the whole race but everything turned out great. They both grabbed some hardware too (better than Jan and I can say). Dylan placed 4th in the 0-6 year old group and Cayden placed 5th among 7 year old boys. Both of them said they had a great time and "we should do this more often". :)
Cayden had a 50 meter swim, 2 mile bike, and a 1/2 mile run. Dylan had a 15 meter swim, 2 mile bike, and a 1/4 mile run.

We had a great crowd to cheer them on...although no one was too excited about this picture. Either it was was too sunny or they had seen the sun too early that day to smile. Dylan had things figured out. Here we have Nora Davis, Cayden, Justin Stolp, Dylan, and Dalton Davis (L-R).

Mr. Wilson (a.k.a. Uncle Blake, Jan's cousin) was on hand cheering on the boys!
Abuelo (my dad) come up for the race and Kristen Gendreau and her family came out to cheer also!
Dylan crossing the finish line with authority. Justin is pulling off in the end there - he ran the whole run with Dylan carrying his water in case he got thirsty :)
Blake and Mary Jo (my mom) trying to keep cool in the scorching sun while cheering.
Cayden coming in the home stretch - after a tough run. He had some bad side aches.
Dylan was proud of his finish!
