Labor Day Fun

After months of working out in the gym at 5:30 in the morning everyday, then doing P90X for 3 months everyday, Jordan was ready for his 2nd Olympic Triathlon! Yesterday he did the Austin Tri. bright and early which is pretty neat because it is set up all throughout downtown. He came in a little under 3 hours, shaved off a little time from last year, and was even the first out of the water in his age group. He said the run killed him but I think he did pretty good considering it was only his 2nd one! He was definately tired at the end but Drake and I were there to cheer him on at the finish line. We were missing the Barton's with us since Paul did it with Jordan last year! We are counting on you guys next year!! (pinky promise! :))

This was his last lap in action. (I was sweating just sitting there so I could only imagine what all of them were feeling like!)

That ladies and gentleman is a smile of relief to have finished a mile swim, 24 mile bike ride and 6 mile run!

So proud of Daddy!

That afternoon we had a big BBQ with a bunch of friends. The entertainment.... the slip "n" slide and pools! None of the girls were brave enough to try but all the kiddos and husbands had a great time. (Minus all of the fire-ant bites!) We ended the night with leaving the boys with the kids and football while all of us girls did a little shopping spree at Compass Trading! Such a fun Labor Day!

Way to go Jordan and thank you both for having us over to your house for the BBQ- I wish we could have stayed longer- as did Austin! You have a very inviting home and it was fun to catch up for a few minutes. It's nice to have friends in different places you can just pick up with- you are welcome out here any time!
