Next was the biking portion. He would have done a lot better had he not decided to get totally dressed to get on his bike! Other guys were biking in their speedos and Mitch not only gets completely dressed, but he also gets dressed slowly! He made it through the bike portion in good time, but he was tired and slowing down... he said he was so tired by the time the running part was over, that he wanted to collapse- but he made it! He did so good- much better than I could do!
When people ask him how he did, he replies with a smile on his face, "well, I didn't come in first... but I didn't come in last either, and I didn't die!" So there you have it folks! Mitch did his first TriAthalon. I asked him if he would do it again and he said he would definitely do this one, but not one any bigger! Hey, someones gotta do the small ones- we'll leave the Iron Man's for all you diehards out there!
Good job babe! We are so proud of you!
The kids "chillin" in the rain during the race- they were (soaked)troopers!
Our family... happy that the race is done and we could all go home and take warm baths and showers!

Oh, my GOSH!!! What an awesome adventure. Looks like some of your competition has built in floaters. Congratulations on an amazing achievement. (To whom it may concern: I accept no responsibility for raising this one--he did it himself!) XOMom
I am sort of jealous that your husband wanted to do this, can he teach my husband to stop sittin around and do something, anything!
Great job Mitch, and Great job Carlie and kids for standing in the rain to support him!
Way to go, Scruffy! I didn't know you had it in you :) I am jealous of that green swim cap. Where can I get me one?
sweet pics! Good job mitch! Oh and thanks for clarifying which one mitch was in the water. I was confused there for a minute. :) jk
Nice shorts Mitch!! My brother-in-law does triathlons a lot, a lot of work for sure.
Good lands, I can barely walk a mile and doggy paddle across a swimming pool. Way to go, Mitch!
By the way, he rocked the swimming outfit. Green must be his color. :) Love you all!! Great job, Mitch!
Can't quit laughing!!! Was the swim event something like catching frogs in the pond? XOM
Mitch, sign me up for next year! Sounds like a blast!
We should train by running on the beach in Kauai.
Good for him! I am with you, doesn't sound like fun. And yes, men lose weight if they even mention it, it sucks!
