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 :)

Checking in...

The race was on the Navy base. All over the base were these huge hovercrafts....they were awesome.

The race even ended on one...so cool

The guys had to go set up there stuff in the transition area....spectators were not allowed :(

There were so many people....thank goodness for the 70-200mm!!

And the race begins!!

Back from the swim....Now for the bike

And the run...

Matt's parents even did the race. GO GARTNERS!!

Great job guys!! Next year....matching jerseys :)

SOUTH CAROLINA

Last week Matt and I had the privilege of going to South Carolina to visit his brother & sister-in-law and their new baby Stella. Michael joined the Navy 2 years ago and is now teaching at the Nuclear Power School in SC. It was nice to finally get to see there new home and meet our niece. The town was so much fun, we really enjoyed walking around downtown and seeing all the old buildings and history. I think this might be the longest post EVER....but I couldn't choose.....

How cute is she!!

I know this picture is not totally in focus...but I love Uncle Matt's face!!

This guy was just wandering around....who knew you would see a tortoise in downtown, SC
