Ryan's 1st Triatholon

Ryan and a couple of his friends (Trevor & Justin) decided to run their 1st Triatholon. It was the LumberJack Triatholon and it took place in Cadillac, MI. We are very proud of him as we watched him train for this event. Swim, Bike, Run...is the order of events.
Here are some pictures of his special day...
Ryan was the shortest one in the bunch and he came in 1st in his age group...Way to go Ry!!
