Oh not me! Mike did the Cache Valley Biathlon on Saturday. It consists of running FIVE miles and biking 16.5 miles. He decreased his time by 10 minutes from last year. He also trained a little better this year. Way to go we are so proud of you. Biking to the finish line.
just starting out on a five mile trek...
His support team of ME, RYLIE and BODE. Even though we spent most of the time at the park near by. We would cheer when he came by.
Trying so hard to stay awake at the park, he was SO ready for a nap by the time the biathlon was over. But he wouldn't miss a minute of the excitement.

There is a story behind this sign. Does anyone else watch Friday Night Lights? If not here is the scoop, the coach of the football team is having a very hard season! A guy at a gas station comes up to the coach and tells him he needs to "find his inner pirate" to finish the season strong. That has been our motto since we heard it. I warned Mike the night before his biathlon, I told him that don't be surprised if we make a sign saying that. He told me not to think about it because it would embarrass him. So I did it discretely. They make two laps around the course. So after he had made his first lap of two and half miles, I had Rylie go out to the curb and hold up his sign. We got a pretty big smile out of him doing it and it was not too embarrassing. Way to find your inner pirate.
