Look at our cool dad!!

Sam and a co-worker decided to race a duathlon this last Saturday. Sam rode the technical mountain bike course and Jason trail ran it. They had to stop along the way to participate in several obstacles. We all took the trip up to Smithville (no one who lives in Texas knows were it is either), to cheer our dad on. (Get ready for TONS of pictures!)

Yes that is a rock in Beckam's mouth. They're just baby teeth right?

The pre-race activities included playing with rocks, sticks, traffic cones, dirt, and getting a few rides on dad's bike.

Good Luck dad!!



And they're off...

so we went to find more dirt, sticks, rocks, and potential hazards.

We walked out a little ways on the trail and let the kids play. Sam and Jason got back much quicker than we thought they would. I snapped a few pictures as they headed for the finish line. They both said the trail was really technical (unlike this here), and despite what they thought before starting the bike actually proved to be a liability in a lot of the really rocky, steep sections!

We then followed after, the boys were excited to see their dads.

They took 2nd place overall and 1st in their division! They did awesome!

They also won 1st prize in one of the obstacles. They did good on most of them, but got a big bag full of fortune cookies for being fastest at carrying cookies through a course with chopsticks.

Some of Beckam's photography. He got a bunch of little cactus stickers in his hand and this was the only way I could find to make him happy after trying to remove as many as we could find.

We all had tons of fun! Congrats dad we think you pretty awesome!!
