A Triathlon... Wow!!!

June 18, 2011
Daxton competed in his first Triathlon!! We are so proud of him, how did this kid come from Dave and I? Neither of us have any fitness skills... His scout group did it to earn a varsity pin. He did not even train, except for going swimming once. I was very worried, but he did awesome. He finished in an hour and 30 minutes. He swam 1/4 of a mile, biked 12 miles, and ran 3.2 miles :/. He placed 73 out of 300 :). He is amazing!!
What an awesome guy,
with Dawson who just loves him!
This is his racing number...
And they also mark their age!
Nick, Dax, Zack L., Zach J. and President Tillman
This is just part of his scout group.
I am actually really upset with Dax. The night before, I asked him where we should go to see him come in at the finish line. He told me we could not come, and that no parents were going to be there. I was sad, I really wanted to see him finish his first triathlon. That is a really big accomplishment, but he insisted we could not come. Come to find out most of the parents were there :(. Wow... thanks Dax!! I am really sad :(. Well, I now know never to listen to Dax. In the future I will do what I want. I will forgive you this time Dax, only because I am so proud of you. You are an amazing person who does what ever you put your mind to. You are awesome!! Luv ya Dax :)
