Camping and Triathlon

Ben's latest athletic adventure was defeating a Triathlon and he did just that!  We set up camp at the park where the race was to take place which was a real time saver in the morning though a rough night with the girls before hand.  Morgan struggled sleeping, not because she was scared or uncomfortable... no, because she was so excited to be in the same tent as mommy and daddy...  Maya couldn't sleep because Morgan kept her up, and we couldn't sleep because well... we're parents of two girls who wouldn't sleep!

Morgan not too sure of these sleeping arrangements

Maya definitely unsure of her sleeping arrangements

As for the race Ben Rocked it!! We found a really great place and were able to see him start both the bike and the run.  It was fun cheering him on.  Morgan was yelling at the top of her lungs (and she is very loud normally) "go daddy!"  He finished 21 in his division.
Our friends Elliot and Amanda were there and ran (swam and biked) the race as well.  Elliot came in 2nd in his age division and Amanda did really well too (never got her status...)
Now Morgan wants to learn how to ride a bike and swim better so that she can race with Daddy, Elliot and Amanda.
