TRIATHALON

Several weeks ago we went with our friends Matt and Mandy and their kids Caroline and Will, to the Neshoba County Fair. We went so that Danny could do the Heart O' Dixie Triathalon. He had been training for awhile and then could not register because it was full. Well, about a week before the triathalon he got a call that they were acccepting more people. He ended up being number 427 out of 431. With a 5 second interval start, that meant he was starting about 34 minutes after the first person. He had to wait a long time!!! Matt was out of the water and on his bike by the time Danny was just getting in the water. It was a lot of fun for Mandy and I. We got the girls up really early (5:45) and got to the start right on time! After Danny was out of the water we took off to drive to the next location. We missed them at the bike transition so that we could see them running. Mandy's grandparents live on the road that they run on to get the the fair grounds. So we waited out in the yard to cheer our guys on to the finish.....and to feed the girls and have a bathroom break. The guys did a great job and we are so proud of them! Way to go DANNY! Waiting for Daddy to get into the water!
