My First Triathlon - Try Andy's Tri, Sugarland TX Oct. 14, 2007

This weekend, Scott and I ran the Try Andy's Triathlon in Sugarland. Kim and the boys and Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty and Scott's boys came out to cheer us on. This was my first triathlon and my goals were to: 1) Finish 2) Not finish last 3) Finish in 1hr 40 min.

All goals were accomplished. We finished with our time being 1:22 and we were 58 and 59 out of 62 in our age group, so we didn't finish last! Not too shabby for a first timer riding a mountain bike!

Here are some pics of the big day.



It's hard to look cool in a swim cap.

Getting ready to swim, hopefully not drown, and avoid any brain eating microbes.

Can you see me?

Whoa Nellie...I gotta get my land legs back!

Elliot's Short-Lived Soccer Career

Elliot really wanted to do YMCA Soccer, so we signed him up. He lasted exactly two games. Actually two practices. Below are some pictures of the young Pele before he hung up his cleats!

Hmmmm.....did I leave the iron on this morning?


Elliot stands ready for action.

He goes in for the score...
I think I'm supposed to kick this thing.
