He did it!

Jeff competed in his first triathlon yesterday. The experience itself and Jeff were both amazing. The swimming portion of the race occurred in Lake Ontario where the waves were 2-4 feet. It was frightening to watch and from Jeff's report, even more frightening to experience first hand. Unfortunately Jordan wasn't able to compete this time. Last month while bike riding, he had an accident. The accident led to surgery and a very large pin protruding from his thumb. He was extremely disappointed about being sidelined for a while. The pin came out last week and he's back training now. They hope to do another race early this fall. I'm hoping to get in on the action as well either this fall or next summer.

Here's a picture of the big finish.
