An Accomplishment

Chad is amazing. We've been married for 11 1/2 years and he never ceases to amaze me. He has an intense personality and is very passionate about life. As most of you know, he decided he needed to make a change earlier this year so in February he started a workout called P90X. In those 90 days he has lost 30 lbs. That alone is amazing, but he also decided that he was going to do something he's always wanted to do...a triathlon. We have a local triathlon held every year at Highline Lake. It's a 500m swim, 16 mile bike, and 3 mile run. Well, he did it. In fact, he rocked it! He finished ahead of his goal time and was ranked 6th in his age group. His overall rank was 46th out of 204. Finish time: 1hr 37min 32sec. He even did it in the pouring rain. He is amazing! The girls were amazing too. We were really excited to cheer him on, but with the rain, I didn't think they would last. They are such troopers. It was an exciting morning and we are so proud of Chad!! Soaked through our clothes and chilled to the bone, it was an accomplishment we will never forget! Thanks to all our great friends who are a great support and are always there for us! Everyone did an amazing job!

Dude, you do ROCK! Sorry I missed it this year. The rain may have drowned this AZ Desert Rat, though. :D It's on the books for 2011! Look forward to seeing your sexy bod next month. Later brah. Ben
