Race day


So as many of you know Jason has been talking about doing a triathlon for quite some time now. Mother's Day was the big day & if you havent' heard how he did, let me tell you. I packed up the boys & off we went to the pool for the first part. I was sitting with my friend who was telling me how hard her husband had been training - up at 5:30 am 5 days a week for months, that is when my stomach went into a few knots. I'm thinking - well Jason had been swimming for the last month twice a week & he did ride his road bike last week (his race was with his mountain bike), & he hadn't run but it is only 3 km (with the steepest hill in Lethbridge), he'll be fine, ok I was really afraid for him. Still wondering??? Well I'm proud to say that my Jason came home with a medal - 2nd place in his age category & 9th overall (there were 96 people). Amazing! I can only imagine what would have happened if he did train a bit. It did give him a boost of confidence & he has decided to enter the Fort Macleod triathlon in August. Go, Jason, go! (See how supportive I am honey).
