Myrtle Beach Triathlon


Last weekend we went to Myrtle Beach.  Matt's sister, Dana, and her husband, Andrew, joined us for the weekend.  We all stayed at my parents' house (thanks Mom!) and enjoyed a beautiful weekend get-away.  Matt and Andrew competed in a triathlon, and did a great job!

Visiting Brookgreen Gardens







Pre-race preparations



Surveying the Intercoastal Waterway where the swimming portion of the triathlon took place



Claire was fascinated by the swimmers coming out of the water.

Here comes Daddy!

Matt is third to exit the water

Matt is the one at the top of the steps

Here comes Uncle Andrew!

Claire was very patient as we watched the event



Here they come on their bikes, both in white shirts

And finally, running!  Matt is on the left in white and Andrew is next to him in black.



Woo hoo!  Almost to the finish line!

Matt and Andrew passed us once on their bikes and four times running.  Each time Claire spotted Matt, she reached out for him to hold her and then got upset when he kept going.  In this picture below, she is finally getting to run to see and be held by Daddy!
