Jason and Ryan recently qualified for the USAT National Triathlon in Milwaukee this past weekend. Instead of vacations, we go to triathlons. Ha! Once we got to town, we of course had to go to the Expo. These boys LOVE to buy their tri stuff there. You know...their goo (energy gel), the sport of seeing how much free stuff you can get (this trip was free compression socks), and look around at all the fun accessories. They're like little school girls. :)

Then we headed back to our hotel to check in and relax a bit before going to dinner. However, when we got to our hotel they told us that our room wasn't ready yet. Boo! So we sat and sat and sat....for almost 2 hours! Finally they gave us the all clear, so we headed up to collapse on the beds for a little R & R. We were so ready. However, we found the room was NOT clean and it looked as though someone had a pillow fight before they left! Needless to say, Jason got out his customer service speech and we got $80 worth of free breakfast vouchers. Woo hoo!
The next morning...the pregnant gluttons got their eat on. For real. This was our free breakfast and it was just for Whit and I!
After shoving all the glorious food in our mouths, we headed to the start of the race. I should mention that we DID NOT eat half of it, but saved most of it for the boys and packed a few to go items for our trek to the start line.
We were thankfully able to catch up with the boys before they got in the water. Jason and I before the race...notice my free smoothie :)
Jason and Ryan's swim heat. This is actually only half of them!

Transition!
And the finish! Ryan was kind enough to hang with Jason for the last leg of the run and they got to finish together.
Pushing through the finish!
They were feeling so accomplished
Not only was finishing the triathlon at all a HUGE feat, but finishing 2nd in the Clydesdale division is amazing! I was such a proud wife. Next thing I'm sure I'll hear from Jason...."I need some tats like that dude!"
My tough and adorable hubby :)
It was so neat to see the boys finish another big triathlon. They are truly amazing! Looking forward to the next fun trip with friends!
