Turkey Triathlon

Today Ben was able to participate in a triathlon! He's a brave man since we've been in Hawaii for the 2 weeks right before this event. It was a pretty short triathlon, but it's still a triathlon. 2 of his sisters, Becky and Angie, did it last year and they both did it again. The anxious athletes
It was hosted by Weber State University and since Ogden is cold in November, the order in which the events were performed was different than normal triathlons. It started with the run, continued with the bike ride, and finished with a swim. Here are the athletes in action...

Congratulations! Great job guys!
