Mayor's Triathlon

This morning Erin competed in the Mayor's Triathlon in Papillion, NE. 500 meter swim in a very gross lake, 15 mile bike, then 3 mile run. She finished 2nd in her age group and improved her time by 3 minutes! Not too bad for not getting as much training in this summer with the busy school schedule. Justin was a great support through the whole race, cheering her on with every lap of the bike and on the way in after the run! He even asked her to slow down right at the end of the run so that he could take a better picture, the reason I am somewhat laughing in the picture below. ;) Erin's first words to Justin after the race were, "That damn run!" (She was in 2nd overall until about 5 girls passed her in the run.) Can't wait to do a few more next summer!!

Started our blog today...

Hello Everyone!

A bunch of our family and friends requested that we use a blog to keep everyone updated about our trip up North! We'll try to post pictures and tell you about what's going on with our adventure up to Alaska. We leave on the 31st, and are very anxious, yet very excited!
