This weekend was definitely an experience of a lifetime. I never thought I would be saying that about a sporting event, unless it is a Redskins football game of course! Well we met up with the Pelt Family, Dowker Family and Bryan Scott at the lovely Monroe Bay Campground in Colonial Beach to camp out and prepare for today's Colonial Beach Triathlon. Everyone was excited and I think I can say a little anxious about the race day events. We all hit the sack rather early to be well rested for the 5am alarm. We all found out rather quickly that Monroe Bay Campground is quite the happening place at 10pm at night, however we eventually got to sleep. "Team Trinity" all loaded in Bryan's truck and headed down to the race to prepare for the 650am start time. The Dowker Girls and I followed not too far behind and met up with Ms. Shaw. Tracee and the kids came down a little later. We got our chairs set up to cheer on the racers and the night before I let the kids make signs for Jason, Bryan, Josh and Kevin.
The race began with the 750 meter swim, followed by the 14 mile bike ride and finishing with the 3 mile run. I am not going to lie when I saw the swim course I started getting a little worried and gave Josh and extra big hug before he started. However, the race started and all of Team Trinity finished in one piece. All of the team finished under 2hrs and it appears that the next Tri will be in Williamsburg in September 2009. Josh hopes that he can get some more training in between now and then and shave a little time off his finishing time which was 1:52:48. He is already talking about things he can improve, things he needs to buy and how excited he is about the next one. Overall I think he did an excellent job and I am excited to go to the next race!!
