Bountiful Triathlon

David, his mom, and his brother, completed their first Triathlon in August, in Bountiful, UT. They all did so well and really enjoyed the experience. This was a sprint triathlon, and the swim was actually done last. It was kind of a chilly day though, so they didn't mind. We had so much fun watching them and cheering them on. They trained so hard to be ready for this day.

So, the race wasn't perfect. David actually got hit by a car during the bike portion of the race! He was only 1 1/2 miles into the ride, and a Dodge Ram Truck swerved over suddenly to get to a Garage Sale, hitting David in the process.

Thank goodness he was okay and he was still able to finish the race. He just got some bumps and bruises and road rash. Overall, he is way better off then he could have been. Thankfully, he was wearing Jordan's clip in shoes to the bike, because they were pretty rock solid around the foot. David's foot actually got run over, so if he had not had those shoes, it could have really hurt his foot. He was a little stiff and sprained or strained his ankle, but amazingly still wants to do another race. Pretty Crazy!
