Poor Brad has been training for months to do the Salem Triathlon, which was on June 7th, but Mother Nature had plans of her own. We woke up Saturday to quite the down pour. The rain finally let up but by that time they had canceled the bike part of the race and cut the swim down by 300 meters.  So in the end he didn't get to do his triathlon but he still did get to swim 500 meters and run 3.1 miles.

As I stood at the finish line waiting for Brad, I was getting really excited and kind of emotional, I was so proud of him. I kept telling myself that I couldn't cry (and no I am not pregnant!). I love that he did something he wasn't sure he could do.

That is awesome. I am so jealous. He will have to sign up for another one now, and pray that it doesn't rain this time :)

That's so great that Brad committed to something like this as I know they can be pretty grueling.
