The Nation's Triathlon

This past Sunday Brad participated in his first triathlon. It was an Olympic distance tri in the heart of DC. The early start time meant we witnessed a beautiful sunrise.
Brad was a little nervous about the Potomac River becoming his final resting place. But he did great on the swim and appreiated the boyancy of his wet suit.
He was so fast...this is the only picture I managed to shoot.
Brad had a strong cheering squadron...Team Hall in full force.
Finishing at 3:01:50! He was estimating somewhere around 3.5 hours so considering he was almost thirty minutes faster and he didn't drowned, I think he was pretty pleased.
Showig off his race bling-bling to his fan club.
Three hours of hard excercise and $175 in registration fees for this lovely necklace and keepsake race number.
But the admiration of his girls...priceless.
