After 11 weeks of training Devin participated in first TRIATHALON!!! It was not the IronMan (not yet anyways :)) it was the Sand Hollow Aquatic Center Sprint which is:
-400 meter swim
-10 mile bike
-3 mile run
Devin has been training 4 times a week either at the pool, on the road, or the treadmill and his hard work paid off. Calculating the times he was getting during his training we were planning for him to finish in 1:30 - 1:45, unfortunately he finished no where near his calculated time....
Instead he finished in 1:01!!!!!! We were all blown away by his speediness! (I didn't even get to see him cross the finish line because I was planning for the run to take him 25-30min and he finished it in less than 20!)
His goal was to finish in the top three, but unfortunately he finished 17th......OVERALL! He took 2nd in his age class (24-29)!
So proud of this one.
Waiting to jump in the pool...
Hopping in...Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...Out of the water in 8 minutes, off to the bike...Off he goes on his 10 mile bike ride... We watched 2 different people EAT IT on this turn, yikes...End of the bike ride...In the "transition area" pulling on his running shoes...Taking off up the hill...Finished!!!!! (He loves getting his picture taken, especially when he's wearing Spandex shorts, can't you tell???) On the podium for 3.5 seconds, just enough time to snap a pic.So proud of this one.
Great job Dev!! That's so awesome! IronMan triathalon next?:)
