Houston Triathlon

This is Adora just before we left to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. She was a little upset because she was READY to GO and didn't want to stop to take a picture :)

Adora helped her Parrain cut the grass. She was a really big help. She also helped pick up all the gumballs and throw them in the bucket.
Jeff and Jake formed a relay team for the Iron Star Triathlon in Montgomery, TX this weekend. Jeff began with a 1.2-mile swim in open water. Jake rode 56 miles on his bike, and then Jeff finished up with a 13.1-mile run.

Adora loves to sit on Parrain's shoulders and be SO TALL! She is even taller than PawPaw here. Jeff had already finished the swim and was waiting for Jake to finish the bike before he began his run.


Jake & Jeff had a great transition between bike & run.



This photo is from soon after Jake finished his ride. Adora was so excited to see her Daddy!



Mom and Jake are waiting for Jeff to finish his run.
Although really tired, sweaty, and gross, Jake still manages to look really handsome.





Jeff still looks pretty good in the last leg of the relay. I have no idea how he can do this.

Adora finally gave in and fell asleep in MawMaw's arms for almost an hour and a half! She was a pretty good traveler with all the driving we had to do. We only had to watch Milo & Otis 1 1/2 times.








This is a video of Jeff at the beginning of the run.
