My posting for today won't have too many words, but quite a few photos. John and I were up bright and early this morning to get to Crookston (about 65 miles west of us) by 8:45 a.m. JD and Jenni were participating in a triathlon. This was Jenni's first time venturing into anything like this and we wanted to be there to cheer her on. She competed in the 9-10 age category. The kids had to swim 2 laps of the pool, ride their bikes 2.4 miles, and run 1.2 miles. JD competed in the men's division and had to swim 16 lengths of the pool, bike 14 miles, and then run 3.2 miles. John and I had so much fun spending the morning with the kids and cheering on the participants. The best part was Jenni and JD both won their age divisions. Following the morning's adventure, we headed over into Grand Forks for some lunch at Culver's and shopping at Kohl's and Sam's Club. John has been training our new Chevy to stop at Dairy Queens. It's a fast learner as it stopped at the DQ in Fosston on the way home.

Transitioning from swimming to biking
Heading out for the bike race
Coming down the home stretch of the bike race
Heading up the hill toward the finish line. That's
Grandpop in the background
A big smile for a job well done

Off for the bike race
Heading into the turn around
Off for the 3.2 mile run.

The winners of the different age divisions. Jenni is
10 years old, so the youngsters in the front
were in the eight and under division. Quite an
accomplishment for young kids.
THE CHAMPS--WELL DONE!!
