CAMP PENDELTON SPRINT TRIATHLON

Yesterday, Matt and a few of his freinds and family partipated in the Camp Pedelton Sprit Triathlon. The tri is a 500yd swim, 18mi bike, and a 5K run. This was Matt's first tri, and he placed 19th out of 89 in his category. Not bad sweetie!! It was super overcast in the morning, but later the sun came out and it was a beautiful day.

A few bike details :)
