I am SO proud of my husband!

I don't why these came out so small. This is the lake the morning of the swim.

All the guys ready to jump in that COLD lake!

The guys had fun posing in their cute swim caps!

For those of you that don't know, Chad has been training for a triathlon. This past weekend Chad, Dave, and some other friends went to compete in their first triathlon. They had to swim 3/4 mile in a lake, bike 18 miles, and then run 5 miles. People could not believe that they picked this one to do first because it is a pretty big one. Chad did awesome on his swim (I was very nervous for him!) When he was on the biking part his bike broke down at mile 9. He stopped to change his tire but no one had the proper tools to fix it therefore he had to head back in the "van". He wasn't able to finish and was pretty disappointed. He is already planning his next one. He will run in the 10K this weekend here in Kearney for the Jesse James Festival.
I am so proud of how much work he has done to meet his goal. I can't even keep up with him, he is becoming one lean machine! He plans to get in shape and then go to the doctor to run his blood work to see if his cholesterol is better. Chad has heart disease history in his family so he is trying to beat the odds! Here are some pics of his adventures...
