A few weeks ago Matt raced in his first Triathlon.
It was what they call a Triathlon Sprint so it is short and fast!
They first swim 300 Meters. Then Bike 12 Miles. Then Run 3.1 miles.
I did not do a very good job getting a picture of him on the bike.
He was to fast. This picture below is him transitioning from the bike to the run.
He did so great! No surprise there though. He has always enjoyed and been good at this stuff.
He finished in 1:10:57. He finished 3rd in his age group.
I am so proud of him. He really enjoyed it.
So much actually that he did another one just yesterday,
and of course did even better then the first one even though he
was running and biking in the freezing snow here.
He got 3rd overall and 1st in his age group.
He is planning on doing and Olympic length (800 meter swim, 24 mile bike, 6 mile run)
one later in the summer when it gets warm.
