our tri athlete

This is not the first triathlon Aaron has completed, but it is the first one I have good pictures of. I wasn't able to be there, I had to attend a crazy lottery to get Addison a place for preschool, but my family and the boys went, so they were there to cheer Aaron on at the finish line. He did great, as usual, and had fun doing it, too. I think the only hard part was the swim, since it was in the ocean. Yikes- I am sooo glad that the tri we are doing in December is in a pool! I am proud of Aaron. He is so disciplined with his eating and also exercise. If he puts his mind to it, then he gets it done. There's no sleeping in, relaxing or cheating with his routine- he means business. So even though I wasn't there, I hope he knows how proud of him I am. I think he's amazing and he is great motivation for me!
My younger (but much taller) brother Mike also did the tri with Aaron, they ended up together at the run and were able to finish together.
The boys love jumping in at the end and crossing the finish line with Aaron. They are asking when they get to do a triathlon- the do actually have kids ones- so we'll have to sign them up.

My boys- minus one- maybe next summer he can jump in there, too!
Great job, Aaron! You're amazing!!!
