Just kidding. Actually the triathlete is at it again.Thank goodness this one wasn't named after a turtle...
Freedom Springs Triathlon in Marianna, FL was the
setting for the big day.
The best kept secret is their amazing spring! Huge
spring and crystal clear - it is absolutely gorgeous!
Patrick did well! He cut his time by 15+ minutes and
said he felt much better after this one! Yay Patrick!
HOWEVER!!!! The best part is yet to come...Patrick
convinced his cousin Michael to do this one with him.
Michael said "yes" (poor guy) and he and Patrick
immediately begin to text one another to discuss how
hard the race would be and how they weren't going
to be ready or how Patrick would probably drown
and Michael would pass out running...Seriously these
guys need a major lesson on POSITIVE motivation!
Not scarring yourself silly before the race!!!! Anyway...
Michael had never trained for anything like this before
and he finished like a champ! He came out of the water
like he just got out of a leisurely shower! He biked
through the course making great time on a fat tire bike (twice as slow as a road bike) and
finished the run with a smile! YAY MICHAEL!!!! We are soooo proud of you!!!!! Now we
have unconfirmed rumblings that Beth, Sallie, William and April will join us in October for
the infamous Cooter Triathlon in Inverness, FL. Hey - If you're in leave us a comment and
we'll put you on our weekly phone list so we can call and scare you silly...uh...I mean encourage
