Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon

This weekend Corey and Fred participated in the Cedars of Lebanon triathlon. We headed to Murfreesboro Friday and spent the night with Pepaw and Grandma Sue. Thank you guys for a wonderful dinner...the lasagna was so yummy! Saturday morning, Corey left the house around 5:20 am, picked Fred up, and headed toward the race. The start time was 7:30, but they had to have everything in place by 7. Last year, this same race was the first tri Corey had ever competed in, and his goal was just to finish in under 2 hours. He was really excited about trying to improve his time this year. He ended up dropping 20 minutes from last year's race! His total time was 1:37:01. The race began with a 300 meter swim, 5 min. 14 sec., with a 2 min. 17 sec. transition to the 16.5 mile bike, 55 min. 40 sec., and a 1 min. 14 sec. transition into the 3 mile run to the finish, 32 min. 39 sec. I'm so proud of how hard he has worked this past month to build his endurance in his running and increase his speed on his biking! It is so exciting to be there cheering for him...I'm glad the boys enjoy it too! After the race while we were waiting on awards and times, we let all four boys swim in the pool. We headed to lunch with Nanny and Pepaw. Then we ran by the outlets in Lebanon for a little shopping with Nanny. Thank you, Nanny for the new pants and shoes! After an early morning and lots of fun, the boys were so tired...they took a good long nap on the way home to Paris for our church's annual picnic. Great job, Corey! We're so proud of you!!!
