Brett has been looking for an event that he could do that covered some biking, swimming and running, so when Murray had a family Tri, he jumped at the chance to make it a father/son event. He called Colton and asked him if he was up for the challenge and he always is, so...
Here they are at 7:30 a.m. on Labor Day getting ready for the event.
Dad was first on the swim, here he is getting out of the water. The weather was nice, and the pool was warm, but for some reason distance swimming is really hard!
Colton taking off for his portion of the swim. He did great! Both of the boys said that the swim was by far the most difficult part.
Brett was already gone on his biking portion when Colton was doing his swim, but here is Colton taking off for his bike event, still wearing his swimsuit, which ended up keeping him cool.
Dad and Colton finishing strong with running - what troopers after swimming and biking!
Here are the winners (in my book anyway)! After some fruit and a rest they look ready to go again! We are all hoping to take part in this event next year! What a great thing to have under your belt at 10 years old, right? Great job Colton and dad!

I am so very proud of Brett for following through on this idea. Colton, what an accomplishment for you!! Way to go guys. I imagine Alex will be joing you in just a few years.
Now that is a pretty awesome accomplishment. Nice going guys...wish we had something like that in Ridgecrest.
What a feat... How nice to have a family event. Good job!
